Antique Tibetan Chinese Floral Knotted Yellow Rug, Circa Date: 1750s. This exceptional piece represents the unique artistic confluence of Tibetan nomadic weaving traditions and sophisticated Chinese court aesthetics. As one of our earliest examples, it offers a profound historical perspective on antique rugs. The central field features a highly stylized, faded zoomorphic figure—likely a guardian lion or mythical beast—set against a dense, earthy ground. The surrounding border utilizes repeating geometric diamonds, framing the main image with traditional precision characteristic of 18th-century Eastern weaving. The palette is defined by a magnificent, deep patina achieved over centuries, resulting in rich tones of moss green, umber, and oxidized brown.
