This fine wool rug can be used as a bedroom rug, living room rug or entranceway rug. This piece is in excellent condition, clean and ready for use in any home or office environment.

These antiques were the first Chinese carpets to be exported to the West and they fitted in well with the craze for Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the second half of the 19th century. Ningxia also wove shaped and rectangular small rugs for saddle underlays, chair (“throne”) seats and shaped backs, pillar carpets...
