Late 19th Century Chinese Ningxia Carpet ( 4' 6" x 6' - 137 x 183 cm )
Antique Chinese - Ningxia Chinese Coral 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece from the late Qing Dynasty exemplifies the graphic precision and symbolic richness inherent in antique rugs of the Ningxia region. The composition is centered around traditional auspicious motifs rendered in a striking, high-contrast palette.
The field is dominated by a rare and luminous shade of apricot-coral, a highly sought-after tone that defines the rug's character and warmth. This rich ground provides a dramatic backdrop for the bold indigo and pale blue figures, creating a visual dynamism characteristic of the finest examples of coral color rugs.
Iconographically, the rug is rich with traditional Chinese symbolism. A magnificent central Fu Dog, surrounded by Ruyi clouds and various "Hundred Antiques" symbols, commands the field. Interspersed among these powerful figures are delicate, stylized floral rugs elements, such as peonies, symbolizing wealth and honor, which soften the overall graphic intensity.
Framed by a robust indigo border featuring stylized key-fret patterns and small pearl dots, the design is contained yet expansive. Its dimensions make it an ideal small scatter size rugs piece, perfect for introducing a powerful historical statement and vibrant color into a refined interior space.
