Antique Chinese Rug with Abstract Design
About the Item
The painterly effect obtained by mixing varying proportions of ivory and indigo wool is peculiar to this family of northern Chinese weavings. As most of them were sourced directly in China one is led to think that they weren’t intended as export items but rather to satisfy a local commission. They are almost always woven in small formats, sometimes embellished by longevity ideograms or other auspicious symbols. This larger carpet is further distinguished by an ivory border decorated by the 'shou', the Chinese symbol for longevity.
