214. An illustrious antique Chinese Carpet

214. Provenance: China

Age: Circa 1900

Size: 178 x 264cm

Condtion: For it's age pretty good. Some reweaves and areas of wear.

Notes: Some Chinese rugs can be 'too much', but this has a lovely, calming simplicity. The peachy field is really warm and it is enhanced by the details in rich indigo. Soft wool - lovely underfoot.
