About the Item

A late 19th century Chinese rug featuring 3 monkeys and some birds on a landscape scene. Navy field, beige accent colors. Some age-related wear Measures: 7' x 8'6" Decorative oriental, Chinese rugs and carpets have been a significant art form within the Chinese culture for many centuries, if not for several millennia. The history of Chinese rugs apart from being long and distinguished is largely independent of that of the Middle East vintage rugs. It was not until the 19th century, the Chinese started exporting Chinese rugs to the world of the West – other goods, such as bronzes and porcelain have already been exported for many years before. Often employing silk textiles, antique Chinese rugs and carpets were produced in medallion as well as rectangular formats. Chinese rugs tend to be more open and spacious than the Oriental carpets from Western Asia. Pictorial Formats like this stellar example are becoming harder to find.
