Antique Chinese Carpet 50221

Antique Chinese Carpet, 1920 — A true beauty, this antique Chinese carpet features brilliant hues and whimsical design elements that are grounded in an earth-toned field. The presence of these fixtures creates a flexible yet bold body of work. Olive and latte hues work seamlessly together as a canvas for the elaborate embroidery. Vivid colors in shades of honeyed gold, daffodil, cobalt, lilac and heather grey define the piece, further harmonized by the presence of crimson and delicately whispering pink. This antique rug features a beautiful bird supporting a basket, which is filled to overflowing with a collection of lush flora. Numerous flowers, both blooming and closed, are artfully positioned around the carpet, drawing the eye to the pleasingly asymmetrical design.
