$22,500.00

Antique Chinese - Ningxia Chinese Ivory 1825 Rug, Circa Date: 1825. This exceptional example of early 19th-century Chinese weaving originates from the Ningxia region, renowned for producing some of the most sophisticated antique rugs of the Qing Dynasty. Its composition immediately conveys a sense of refined age and cultural importance. The expansive field is rendered in a warm, luminous ivory color, which serves as a perfect counterpoint to the deep indigo and soft blue accents used throughout the design. The background is subtly textured with a grid of small brown dots, a characteristic feature that prevents the large open space from feeling empty while adding visual depth. A series of stylized, abstract botanical clusters are scattered across the field, offering a restrained interpretation of floral rugs.
