This petite round antique Chinese rug clocks in at about 2’5 and is a total jewel. From the 1890s, it features that unmistakable inky black ground paired with soft, dusty pastels that feel both graphic and romantic at the same time.
The design centers around a vase holding a blossoming tree, a classic Chinese motif symbolizing harmony, abundance, and life force. Surrounding florals float effortlessly, with gentle curves and scrolling vines that give the piece movement without feeling busy. The palette is especially pretty…muted rose, lavender, pale celadon, ivory, and hits of faded denim blue, all sitting beautifully against the dark field.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, it has a soft and silky pile, low and even with honest age and wear that only adds to its charm. Slight irregularities at the edge remind you this was made by hand, not a machine.
Perfect as a grounding moment in an entry, under a side table, or layered into a vignette where it can really shine. Everyone needs a masterpiece underfoot…even in small form. A great little collectible in nice shape Custom cut rug pad will ship on the house along with it.
