Antique Chinese - Mongolian Chinese Ivory 1850s Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece from the mid-19th century showcases the refined aesthetic of Mongolian Chinese weaving, characterized by a striking contrast of deep indigo against a luminous ivory color field. The palette is immediately evocative of classic porcelain traditions, lending the textile a sophisticated, timeless appeal. The field is sparsely populated with stylized Ruyi cloud motifs surrounding a powerful central Shou symbol, representing longevity and good fortune. This symbolic iconography is framed by a complex border system dominated by the traditional Greek Key meander, highlighting the strong foundation in geometric rugs that defines many Qing Dynasty textiles.
