Amidst this lively scene, an array of multi-colored flowers and leaves effortlessly breathe life into the composition, while charming aqua blue funghi add a touch of whimsy to the spectacle.

Antique circa 1850 Chinese Qing hand-knotted wool rug, 17'10" x 17'10" (214 x 214 in), in orange and blue tones. Condition: excellent. Antique Large Square Ningxia Chinese Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional example of ningxia rugs showcases the powerful aesthetic of mid-19th century Qing Dynasty weaving. Its generous square dimensions classify it as a truly large oversized rug, suitable for grand interiors requiring a statement piece of significant scale. The field presents a vibrant, saturated hue, often categorized as a deep coral color, providing a dramatic contrast to the dense, repeating indigo and pale blue floral motifs. This striking color combination is characteristic of the finest Chinese rugs produced for imperial or high-ranking domestic use during this period, demonstrating mastery over natural dye processes. At the center, a circular medallion captures attention with its intricate depiction of mythical beasts, likely the Dogs of Fo, amidst stylized clouds and traditional Chinese symbols of longevity and good fortune. The overall design of this square rug is highly formalized, reflecting the sophisticated courtly taste prevalent in antique rugs from the region, where every motif carries symbolic weight. Hand-knotted with exceptional precision, the wool pile retains a beautiful luster, emphasizing the quality of the natural dyes used in the 1850s. The wide, solid indigo border frames the complexity of the central design and the meandering vine motifs, ensuring this square piece remains a highly collectible artifact of textile history. Additional notes Ningxia North Central China 17'10" x 17'10" Circa 1850 Warp: cotton, off white, handspun, Z-4-S Weft: cotton, off white, handspun, 2 shoots alternating Pile: wool, 3 strand, handspun Knot: asymmetric, open left, 48 knots per square inch Sides: one cord, offwhite cotton wrapped End: no original finish This is a particularly large example of a Mandarin official's carpet with a central medallion displaying nine lion dogs collectively symbolic of success on the national Chin Shih examination which provided guaranteed entry into the national administrative bureaucracy and the wealth devolving therefrom. The nine lion dogs are a rebus for success in the national bureaucracy. The apricot ground features 11 full or partial rows of tree paeonies, flower and stem. This carpet is particularly large and clearly was made for a highly placed official or the wealthy family of a recent graduate of whom great things were expected. The principal was probably Buddhist as indicated by the embroidered ball and precious objects in the medallion. The clouds surrounding the lion dogs form a broken, polychrome circle rather than the usual continuous cloud wreath. This is one of the several features indicating a bespoke order rather than a piece made for the market. Another indicator is the exceptional size, as the standard square Ningxia Mandarin carpet is about 12 to 14 feet square. The main border continues the colour combination, with a now apricot ground and paeonies among floral arabesques. The blue inner stripe is unusual with butterflies alternating with paired peaches...
