About the Item

Breathtaking Cream and Blue Antique Room Size Chinese Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: China Rug, Circa Date: 1880 –Size: 9 ft x 11 ft 5 in (2.74 m x 3.48 m) Every antique rug tells a story and this one tells the story of the end of an era. This antique Chinese rug creates bold contrast and fascinating juxtapositions by layering different shades of blue against a creamy ivory background. At first glance, it looks like the background is one solid color. But upon closer examination, you will begin to discover that this room size rug has a beautifully drawn out background that is comprised of cloud bands and Chinese emblems. These embossed symbols typically represents a wish for longevity, prosperity, or luck. One of the most fascinating aspects of this magnificent antique Chinese carpet is its outermost guard border. This floral navy blue guard border acts like the perfect frame. It gives a sense of completion and perfection that is seldom seen in the textile arts. This Oriental rug dates from the end of the Qing Dynasty and reflects the grandeur of China’s last empire. Chinese art during the late Qing Dynasty was an expression of cultural values and ideals of the time. Each motif and color used had a significant symbolic meaning, many of which have been lost over time. This antique carpet reflects a sense of order and hierarchy that epitomized Chinese culture of the time. This aspect is embodied by the layout of the bold motifs and emblems that are arranged in a geometrically precise pattern. The exacting symmetry of the central field design of this Chinese rug brings a sense of order and calm to the rug. This rug, which is a true Chinese collector’s piece, reflects the preciseness of late Qing Dynasty artistry. It is a statement piece that can speak on its own just as easily as it could blend into the background – probing a springboard for color. It would make an excellent feature piece in minimalist decor but is bold enough to carry the weight in a traditional classic design. It is sure to work in almost any interior design approach and has a classic timeless feel that embodies the historical period that it represents.
