Antique Chinese Small Scatter Size Wool Multicolor Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional example of mid-century design showcases the unique aesthetic transition common in Chinese weaving during this period, blending traditional motifs with a modern, geometric sensibility.

Woven in a dense, resilient wool pile, this piece is presented in an unusual cut-out octagonal form, making it perfectly suited for placement near a hearth, vanity, or as one of a pair of small scatter size rugs. Its distinct shape provides an architectural anchor to a room without overwhelming the space.

The field features a sophisticated palette, utilizing deep navy, mustard yellow, and striking teal accents, classifying it among the finest multicolor jewel tone rugs. The primary diamond lattice creates an effective allover rugs impression within the main panels, framed by a classic Greek key fretwork border in contrasting beige and black.
