About the Item
Antique Chinese Pao Tao Rug – 238 × 162 cm
This exquisite Chinese Pao Tao rug is a striking example of traditional craftsmanship from the early 20th century, celebrated for its balance of symbolic meaning and decorative elegance. Measuring 238 by 162 cm, the rug features a rich composition of interlocking octagonal medallions filled with floral rosettes and auspicious motifs, all carefully rendered in warm gold, soft peach, ivory, and navy blue tones. The intricate border showcases a meander (Greek key) design, often symbolizing eternity and protection, framed by contrasting geometric and cloud motifs.
Woven in the revered weaving centers of Northern China, Pao Tao rugs are highly collectible and were often made for imperial or high-ranking official use. The careful execution of the symmetrical design and the luminous wool quality reflect the fine standards associated with Chinese court rugs. Each detail, from the meandering vines to the meticulously spaced blossoms, exudes harmony and meditative beauty. Ideal for elegant interiors or collectors of Asian decorative arts, this rug brings both cultural depth and timeless sophistication to any setting. Its excellent preservation enhances its value, making it a prized piece for connoisseurs of antique rugs.
