The Antique Chinese - Mongolian Chinese Knotted Rug is an exceptional example of late Qing Dynasty weaving from the 1860s. Hand-knotted in China using high-quality wool, this rectangular rug features a striking central medallion with the stylized Shou character for longevity. The expansive ivory field is decorated with floating cloud bands and framed by a complex border system, including a classic Greek Key geometric pattern. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this room-sized rug showcases a sophisticated blue-and-white aesthetic and architectural composition. Its dramatic use of negative space and high-contrast palette of ivory, tan, and white makes it a commanding anchor for any formal living space.
