Small Antique Blue and Ivory Chinese Saddle Horse Cover Rug

Antique Chinese Ivory 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite piece is a fine example of the early 20th-century Chinese weaving tradition, characterized by its soft color palette and refined execution. The date places it firmly within the Art Deco period, though its design retains classical Asian motifs. The central medallion rests upon a luminous ivory field, providing a striking contrast to the deep indigo and navy blues used extensively in the framing elements. Subtle accents of rose and soft teal introduce a gentle warmth to the otherwise monochromatic background, highlighting the stylized floral elements. A complex, interlocking key pattern forms the primary geometric border, lending structure and definition to the rug's perimeter. This sharp, angular design is a sophisticated counterpoint to the more organic, stylized floral motifs found near the center.
