Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Square 1890s Antique Large Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the height of sophisticated Chinese textile artistry. Its refined aesthetic and superb craftsmanship place it among the most desirable antique rugs of the period, offering a harmonious balance between traditional motifs and the expansive, open field designs favored by Western markets.

The expansive field is rendered in a luminous, soft ivory, providing a serene backdrop that highlights the precision of the detailing. The use of this light, neutral palette distinguishes it within the category of ivory beige cream white color rugs, allowing the deep navy border and the soft teal and coral accents to truly resonate across the composition.

The design centers on a striking circular medallion and corresponding corner spandrels, each featuring stylized phoenixes or mythical birds intertwined with delicate floral vines. These motifs, executed primarily in varying shades of blue, demonstrate a mastery of shading and line work, lending the composition a dynamic yet elegant movement that avoids the rigidity often found in earlier designs.

Woven to a substantial size of 15.03ft x 17.04ft, this piece offers significant coverage, making it an ideal anchor for a grand salon or dining room. The impressive scale ensures it functions not merely as a floor covering but as a foundational element of interior architecture. Such pieces are rare finds among genuine Large Oversized Big Rugs (15.03ft x 17.04ft) selections from the 1890s, retaining exceptional pile quality and color saturation. See less
