Antique Chinese - Silk Ivory 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of late Qing Dynasty weaving is rendered in lustrous silk, giving the pile a soft sheen and remarkable depth. The craftsmanship represents a specific period in Chinese textile history when traditional motifs began to incorporate subtle influences, elevating these pieces among the finest antique rugs available today. The field is dominated by a sophisticated ivory color palette, subtly shifting toward a warm gold, providing a luminous backdrop for the stylized iconography. The use of natural dyes results in gentle color variations (abrash) across the surface, lending authenticity and character to this historic textile, while the thick, dense pile speaks to its luxurious origins.
