Late 19th Century Chinese Ningxia Carpet ( 4'4" x 7' - 132 x 213 cm )
Antique Chinese - Ningxia Small Scatter Size Wool Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exquisite example of Chinese weaving tradition, hailing from the Ningxia region, captures the restrained elegance typical of late 19th-century court-influenced design. Woven entirely in wool, the piece exhibits the characteristic subtle sheen and durability expected of high-quality antique rugs.
The palette is defined by a striking contrast between the luminous, natural ivory field and the saturated indigo border. The masterful control of the dye process is evident in the variation of deep navy and lighter cerulean tones used throughout the composition, making this a standout piece among our collection of blue color rugs. Subtle accents of dusty rose and soft lavender introduce warmth without disrupting the overall serenity of the design.
The central design features a delicate, symmetrical medallion surrounded by scattered, highly stylized motifs. These patterns often draw inspiration from classical Chinese iconography, presenting abstract interpretations of natural elements. The field is populated by graceful, repeating elements that firmly place this piece within the category of floral rugs, despite their highly abstracted rendering.
Framed by a classic key-fret outer guard and a main border featuring alternating dots and stylized vines, the structure is impeccable. Its dimensions classify it as one of our highly desirable small scatter size rugs, making it an ideal accent piece for a hallway, bedside, or intimate reading nook. This Ningxia rug offers a rare combination of historical provenance and sophisticated decorative appeal.
