Antique Chinese - Baotou Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a highly stylized pictorial landscape, typical of the Baotou region's departure from formal medallion designs. It is a remarkable piece among our collection of antique rugs. The composition is anchored by a serene, expansive field of soft tan and beige, allowing the vibrant motifs to emerge with clarity. This use of a neutral ground highlights the sophisticated depth of the indigo and coral accents, placing it firmly within the desirable category of ivory beige cream rugs. Central to the design is a majestic bird, possibly a stylized phoenix or crane, rendered in rich terracotta and set against deep blue rock formations.
