A striking antique multicolor jewel-tone Chinese, hand-woven in silk in China around 1850. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases an allover composition across a multicolor jewel-tone palette, and measures 2'0" x 2'8". Antique Chinese rugs are prized for their distinctive palettes, hand-knotted wool pile and motifs rooted in centuries of Chinese decorative tradition, from medallions and florals to symbolic emblems. As a smaller scatter size, it makes a perfect accent for an entryway, reading nook or bedside - and layers beautifully over a larger rug or natural fiber. Its multicolor palette gives you freedom to pull accent colors throughout the room. Hand-made from natural fibers, it carries the warmth and irregular charm of true handcraft.
