About the Item

78450 Rare Antique Chinese Ningxia Bench Runner Meditation Mat, 02'01 x 25'08. An Heirloom of Devotion: Early 20th Century Chinese Ningxia Bench Runner. Woven in the early 20th century, this hand-knotted wool Ningxia bench runner embodies the serene elegance and symbolic richness of classical Chinese artistry. Spanning thirteen individual meditation squares, it unfolds as a visual journey of harmony and contemplation—an unbroken sequence that once graced monastery benches with both utility and sanctity. Runners of this scale were seldom preserved intact; many were cut into smaller sections for individual meditation mats, making this complete example an exceedingly rare and prestigious acquisition. Each square is centered with an open medallion, a timeless emblem of spiritual balance and inner clarity, framed by fretwork spandrels that nod to cosmic order and protective symbolism. The composition is enclosed within a Greek T-meander border, its continuous rhythm symbolizing eternity, unity, and life’s cyclical nature. In every detail, this exclusive masterpiece reflects the discipline and devotion of its monastic origins, elevating it beyond decoration to become a textile of profound symbolic value. The color palette further enhances its allure: glowing amber fields host medallions softly illuminated in golden yellow, ivory, and blue, all anchored by the deep midnight indigo of the borders. This contrast strikes a balance between warmth and depth, serenity and authority—qualities that allow it to complement both refined traditional spaces and contemporary interiors aligned with Wabi-Sabi, Shibui, or Organic Modern aesthetics. To acquire such an exquisite work of art is to step into a rarefied circle of connoisseurship, where scarcity and cultural heritage converge. This Ningxia runner is not merely a furnishing, but a woven relic of faith, artistry, and continuity—a reminder of the enduring human pursuit of order, meditation, and beauty. As an heirloom of status and symbolic weight, it stands as an unparalleled treasure, poised to bring both prestige and soulful depth to any world-class collection. Rendered in variegated shades of rust, blue, terra cotta, cerulean, brick red, navy blue, sky blue, brown, gold, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in China. Measures: 02'01 x 25'08. Date: 1910's. Early 20th Century.
