Wool Rectangle Large Antique Blue 1890s Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece captures the refined elegance of late Qing Dynasty textile art. The generous scale and subtle coloration mark it as a distinguished example of large oversized big rug production from this period, demonstrating the era's mastery of courtly design. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated indigo, a hue prized for its depth and formality. This striking backdrop allows the delicate, scattered floral sprays—including prunus and chrysanthemum blossoms—to float effortlessly across the surface. The meticulous hand-knotting highlights the subtle variations within the blue color rugs palette, moving from near-black to vibrant navy.
