Antique Chinese - Ningxia Ivory 1800s Rug, Circa Date: 1800s. This exceptional example of 19th-century Chinese weaving originates from the Ningxia region, known for its distinctive palette and open compositions. The expansive central field is rendered in a soft, luminous ivory color rugs, providing a serene canvas for the detailed motifs. At the heart of the composition lies a striking circular medallion, richly detailed with traditional Chinese mythological beasts and cloud bands executed in shades of gold, brown, and deep blue. Flanking this central element are delicate, asymmetrical sprays, characteristic of floral rugs from this period, which soften the overall formality of the design. The sophisticated border system employs multiple guard stripes, including a precise Greek key meander in indigo and pink, framing the main field.
