Its deep aubergine-purple field provides a dramatic setting for cream foliage and a flowing coral-and-ochre tail. The composition dates to the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrow rectangular format carries the scene naturally along its length. A leafy tree rises beside the birds, while pale rockwork anchors the lower section. Traditional Chinese imagery combines with an Art Deco decorative character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePhoenix-Like Bird and Crane\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe larger bird commands the centre with its patterned body, red crest and long pale neck feathers. Its sweeping tail curves towards the rocky foreground. Small dark markings punctuate the coral and ochre bands, adding detail to the flowing silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crane stands beneath the tree, its long neck rising beside the trunk. Cream and dark outlines distinguish its wings and slender form. Together, the two birds give the design a strong pictorial focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePeony, Clouds and Landscape\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flowering peony opens beside the larger bird, balanced by the tree on the opposite side. Pale branches spread across the upper field. Stylised cream and lavender clouds pass behind them near a small red sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lower landscape uses pale sage, cream and deep brown to define irregular rocky forms. These shapes contrast with the fine bird feathers and delicate foliage. The asymmetrical arrangement gives the scene space without enclosing it in a conventional border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHand-Knotted Wool Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rug is handmade and hand-knotted in wool. Its worn surface reveals variations in the purple ground and lighter motifs. Close views show the underlying construction where the pile has thinned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 90 × 175 cm, it offers a substantial pictorial design in a compact, elongated format. Cream details remain prominent against the darker field. The coral tail and red flower introduce warmer accents without overwhelming the aubergine background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAge-related wear is present throughout, with uneven low pile, localised thinning and areas of visible foundation. The edges show fraying, loose threads and worn finishing. The ends are irregular, with exposed threads visible in close views.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pictorial design remains clearly legible despite the wear. This is a visibly aged textile rather than a full-pile example. Low-traffic placement or supported decorative display is preferable to a busy passage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriod: Early twentieth century\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: China\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Chinese Art Deco\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Wool\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handmade, hand-knotted\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Phoenix-like bird, crane, flowering peony, tree, clouds and rocky landscape\u003cbr\u003eColours: Aubergine, purple, cream, pale sage, coral, rust, ochre, lavender and dark brown\u003cbr\u003eShape: Rectangular\u003cbr\u003eLayout: Asymmetrical, borderless pictorial composition\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 90 × 175 cm \/ approximately 2.95 × 5.74 ft\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uneven low pile, thinning, visible foundation, frayed edges, loose threads and irregular ends\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 1V01\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rug’s appeal lies in its expansive bird-and-landscape scene and unusual aubergine palette.
