About This Rug
This handmade Chinese wool rug pairs a warm coral-rust field with a broad ivory floral border. Attributed to circa 1940s, it combines a circular floral medallion with scattered botanical motifs and decorative vessels.
Measuring approximately 185.4 × 276.9 cm, the rug offers generous proportions for a living room, bedroom or study. Its open field gives the smaller ornaments space while maintaining a balanced overall composition.
A Circular Floral Centre
The central medallion brings together cream blossoms, sage-green leaves and curling pink-beige stems. A small geometric motif occupies the centre, providing a crisp contrast to the surrounding floral curves.
Flowering branches and vessel-shaped ornaments appear on either side of the medallion. Smaller leafy sprays extend toward the ends, repeating the softer green and cream colours.
Floral corner ornaments introduce denser patterns near the border. Their scrolling stems connect visually with the medallion without filling the entire coral field.
Sculpted Texture and Soft Colour
Sculpted pile outlines give the blossoms, leaves and scrolling details a dimensional appearance. Changes in height and texture help distinguish individual forms within the floral design.
The coral-rust background varies between deeper reddish tones and paler areas. Directional pile shading and visible wear contribute to this uneven surface appearance.
Dusty pink, beige and muted blue-grey soften the contrast between the warm field and light border. Sage-green leaves add cooler accents throughout the composition.
An Ivory Floral Frame
The broad ivory border carries repeated flowers, curling foliage and rounded decorative motifs. Its lighter colouring creates a clear frame around the coral centre.
A narrower blue-grey inner band includes geometric key-pattern sections and floral details. Fine coral lines separate these elements, while a plain outer band echoes the field colour.
