Late 19th Century Chinese Ningxia Pictorial Rug of Countryside Landscape Scene

About the Item

This beautiful antique Ningxia rug from late 19th-century Western China captures a tranquil, painterly landscape scene, rich in cultural symbolism and timeless artistry. Woven in the style of Ningxia and Khotan rugs, it portrays a peaceful countryside setting—with distant mountains topped by pagodas, rivers winding through a valley, and a lone farmer crossing a bridge in the foreground. The composition is framed by a gracefully patterned border, adding structure to the dreamy, narrative scene. The color palette is soothing and harmonious, with nuanced shades of blue, tan, pink, and brown, evoking the serenity of Asian rock gardens and classical Chinese scroll paintings. Its relatively compact size makes this rug ideal for use as an accent piece, though it would be especially stunning when displayed as a wall tapestry—bringing a sense of calm and historical elegance to any room.
