Antique Square Chinese Rug with Abstract Design

About the Item

A rare and unusual rug, reminiscent of a contemporary painting, decorated by an apparently casual miscellany of polychrome wools. Examples of this type have always been sourced directly in China, indicating that this pattern was possibly very much in fashion among the Chinese in the early 20th century. The origin of this pattern is still unclear although some have pointed out the similarities with the American rag rugs of the same period.

  • Antique Geometric Design Chinese Rug with Polychrome Diamonds
    Located in Milan, IT
    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.
