Antique Geometric Design Chinese Rug with Polychrome Diamonds

About the Item

There is a group of later Chinese carpets which are characterized by geometric, often abstract patterns that seem inspired by Western sensibilities. What is puzzling however is that most of these weavings have been sourced in recent years in China itself, where they have been used in households ever since they were made. Whatever its origin, the resulting pattern of coloured lozenges has an outstanding three dimensional quality, and can be compared to the most important objects of twentieth century design.
