The Antique Chinese - Silk Knotted Rug is an exceptional example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, dating back to circa 1925. Hand-knotted entirely from lustrous silk, this rectangular rug features a fine knotting technique that creates a remarkable depth and soft sheen. The design showcases a soothing ivory field accented by black, tan, and white tones, with delicate floral motifs and scrolling vines characteristic of the Republic era. Its complex border system includes traditional Chinese meander patterns and stylized cloud bands. Perfectly scaled as a small scatter size with a 0.5-inch pile height, this resilient silk textile is ideal for adding sophisticated history to an entryway, bedside, or intimate sitting area.
