The Hand Knotted Pile 1890s Red / Rust Rectangle Wool Antique Rug is an exceptional piece of late Qing Dynasty textile artistry from China. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, this rug features a soft, luminous 0.5-inch pile that showcases a warm apricot and pink color palette. The central field is adorned with traditional Chinese iconography, including stylized vases and scholarly objects from the "Hundred Antiques" motif, rendered in indigo and pale blue. A complex border system with a Greek key inner guard and Ruyi cloud bands frames the oriental and floral design. This substantial rectangular rug offers historical depth and quiet elegance, making it an ideal choice to anchor a formal dining area or a grand living room.
