Antique Chinese - Silk Hallway Runner Silk Yellow Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional silk weaving represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century Chinese textile artistry, characterized by its exquisite fineness and radiant sheen. Unlike typical wool pieces, the silk foundation and pile allow the colors to refract light brilliantly, defining this piece as a highly prized example among antique rugs. The central field is dominated by a rich, luminous saffron hue, providing a warm foundation that is both regal and inviting. This masterful use of a deep, burnished yellow color creates a striking contrast against the wide, midnight blue main border, which is intricately decorated with traditional Chinese Shou symbols and Greek key motifs, ensuring visual depth and structural integrity.
