This piece is reminiscent of a garden reflecting pool, or perhaps, a window into the heavens. Chinese rugs were often steeped in symbolism that is meant to evoke reverence and respect for the natural world. The geometric border design creates a contrast with the free-flowing design in the field of the rug. This artist used both the design and the density of the design to create a visual contrast between the sections of the design. This is a masterful artistic technique that demonstrates the mark of a skilled artist. This would be a beautiful addition to a room with neutral tones or perhaps an all-blue palette.

The solid blue outline help to define the space, making it perfect for defining an area for conversation. It is a magnificent antique carpet that blends the traditional and modern worlds seamlessly. It has a refined feel that will bring a bit of the natural world indoors, making it the perfect carpet to serve as the design inspiration for the rest of the space.
