The Antique Ningxia Chinese Allover Floral Knotted Rug is an exceptional example of mid-19th-century Chinese weaving tradition. Hand-knotted in China using high-quality wool, this rectangular rug features a dense 0.5-inch pile and meticulous craftsmanship. The deep indigo field serves as a dramatic backdrop for stylized floral and animal motifs, including a central cartouche depicting a horse or deer amidst rocky outcroppings. Soft salmon, peach, and ivory accents created with natural dyes provide a subtle patina that enhances its authentic antique character. This piece incorporates traditional cloud band elements and geometric fretwork borders, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. Its small scatter size makes it an ideal choice for adding historical depth and rich color to corridors or intimate living spaces.
