About the Item

It is a small Ningxia carpet from the homonymous area in northern China, handmade between 1880 and 1900, measuring 133 × 71 cm (4' 4" × 2' 3") and it is knotted in wool on warp and weft of cotton. The art of knotting was well known in China in very ancient times. However, it was only at the beginning of the 18th century that rugs began to be considered by the Chinese nobility as an element of social distinction and wealth. Thus, the manufactures developed in the Ningxia region which for centuries was the traditional Chinese knotting area. The field decorated with a rhomboidal grid is enclosed in a simple frame that alternates motifs of high symbolic value drawn with calligraphic grace. The few and soft colors make it perfect for any classic or modern combination.
