Antique Chinese - Mongolian Chinese Brown 1860s Rug, Circa Date: 1860s. This exceptional piece from the mid-19th century exemplifies the sophisticated weaving traditions of the Sino-Mongolian borderlands. The palette is centered on rich, saturated earth tones, defining it as a superb example of brown earth tone color rugs from this period. The field employs a meticulous diagonal lattice structure, creating a complex, repeating diamond grid. Within each diamond, subtle floral or geometric medallions are rendered in contrasting shades of tan, ivory, and pale robin's egg blue. This dense, repeating structure classifies the piece among the finest allover rugs produced in Northern China. A series of highly articulated borders frames the central design.
