About the Item

Kansu province lies just to the east of Xinkiang or Chinese Turkestan. Kansu carpets are more "Chinese-like” with, as here, fret borders and corners, butterflies and fretwork elements in round central medallions. Kansu carpets are uncommon in the West and this circa 1890 characteristic example has the soft colours presently so popular with designers. This late 19th century Chinese Kansu carpet beautifully embodies the refined elegance of northwest Chinese weaving traditions. The coral red field is enriched with symbolic motifs, including a central roundel medallion and delicate floral sprays, framed by a bold Greek key border in shades of indigo and ivory. The harmony of color and design reflects both auspicious symbolism and timeless artistry, making it a versatile piece for collectors and decorators alike. Woven in soft wool with a fine knotted pile, this rug’s balanced composition and warm palette create an inviting focal point in any interior. Perfect for a living room, library, or intimate dining area, it merges cultural depth with enduring decorative appeal.
