Late 19th Century W. Chinese Ningxia Runner Carpet ( 2'4" x 7'2" - 70 x 220 )
Antique Chinese – Ningxia 1880s Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional runner represents the distinctive artistry of ningxia rugs from the late 19th century, a period highly valued in the history of Chinese rugs.
The narrow field is anchored by three distinct, ivory-toned circular medallions, each housing a stylized mythological bird, possibly a crane or phoenix, symbolizing longevity. The surrounding space utilizes an elegant, near-allover design of scattered blossoms and scrolling vines rendered in a sophisticated palette of deep indigo, terracotta red, and soft apricot.
Woven with finely spun wool, the construction quality confirms its provenance as a high-status piece. Its long, slender dimensions categorize it specifically as a runner, though its size places it within the broader category of small scatter size rugs suitable for hallways or intimate spaces.
Retaining remarkable color integrity and structural preservation after nearly 150 years, this textile offers a rare glimpse into Qing Dynasty decorative arts. It is a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking distinguished antique rugs with documented historical significance.
