ANTIQUE CHINESE SILK RUG. 9 ft x 6 ft (2.74 m x 1.83 m).
A Magnificent Rare And Collectible Antique Chinese Silk Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Antique China Rug, Circa Date: 1900 – The secret of silk goes back several thousand years in China. Chinese silk is a world treasure, making this exquisite masterpiece a rare collectible. This antique silk Chinese carpet has an almost sublime quality. It was crafted around the turn of the 20th century and has a look and feel that only silk can achieve.
Silk is known for its durability, the ability to be spun into gossamer fine threads, and its ability to accept natural dyes. The gorgeous range of colors in this rug are vibrant, as you would expect from silk, and they are perfectly suited to modern interior design trends, too. Silk has a luminescence that modern manufacturers attempt to replicate, but nothing can come close to the natural glow of real silk. This rug reflects the light in the room and creates an elegance and beauty that is unmatched.
This gorgeous piece uses geometrics and traditional Chinese motifs, creating contrast in both color and pattern throughout the piece. Chinese knots, cloud bands, and delicate florals represent the connection between heaven and earth. The geometric patterns make each section unique and demonstrate the skill in design and vast repertoire of the weavers.
The range of colors includes earthy browns, delicate mauves, beautiful blues, and fiery reds and oranges. The color scheme is energetic and intense yet beautifully balanced and harmonious at the same time. This carpet brings elements of the natural world into the interior space. It is the perfect match for this year’s most popular interior colors that include cider spice, dusty lilac, dragonfly blue, and living coral. It is an antique that is perfectly matched to contemporary design tastes.
This antique carpet has an elegance and refined style that is awe-inspiring. It could easily fit among rooms with larger columns and formal architecture, but its bold colors could also fit with contemporary styles such as Boho chic or nature-inspired designs. Regardless of your style, this piece is a rare find. Authentic Chinese antique rugs are becoming more difficult to find, as many of them already have a home. This one is spectacular for its colors, design, and condition. It is an extraordinary piece on many levels and a beautiful addition to your home or office.
