About the Item

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of East Asian artistry with this exquisite Antique Ningxia rug, distinguished by a captivating central medallion that draws the eye and soul into its celestial narrative. Originating from the historical weaving centers of China, this rug is a harmonious blend of traditional design and refined aesthetics. The golden hue of the field is reminiscent of the imperial colors that adorned the courts of Chinese emperors, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. At its heart, the central medallion features traditional motifs and symbolic elements that have been cherished in East Asian culture for centuries, conveying a sense of balance and cosmic order. Enclosing the medallion is a lattice of diamond shapes, professionally detailed and beautifully contrasted against the rich background. The border is a masterclass in design itself, featuring the classic Greek key pattern—an interlocking geometric motif that symbolizes infinity and unity. This motif is interspersed with elegant bat designs, which in Chinese culture are emblematic of good fortune and happiness. The craftsmanship of this Ningxia rug is unparalleled, with its tight weave and fine wool that give it both a luxurious feel and enduring durability. Each knot and color bears witness to the skilled hands that created it, and the history it carries.This rug is more than a floor covering; it is a piece of art that offers a glimpse into a world where every thread is steeped in meaning. It is suited for grand spaces where it can be fully appreciated—underneath a dining table, gracing the floor of a palatial living room, or in a distinguished library. Owning this Antique Ningxia Medallion rug means not only possessing a rare artifact but also becoming a guardian of history. It is a treasure that will not only complement the aesthetics of your home but will also be a centerpiece that will spark conversation and admiration for its beauty and cultural significance. The measurement of this piece is 212 x 347 CM in size.
