The Wool Rectangle Large Antique Blue 1890s Hand Knotted Pile Rug is an exceptional example of late Qing Dynasty textile art from China. This large-scale piece features a rich indigo field that serves as a striking backdrop for delicate floral sprays, including prunus and chrysanthemum blossoms. Hand-knotted with a 0.5-inch wool pile, the rug showcases a sophisticated palette ranging from vibrant navy to soft blush pinks and celadon greens. At the center, a finely detailed circular medallion incorporates traditional Chinese motifs symbolizing longevity and prosperity. With its remarkable preservation and courtly design, this antique Oriental rug represents the pinnacle of turn-of-the-century weaving, making it a distinguished addition for any collector.
