Antique 17th Century Chinese Oriental Rug 41804
Antique Ningsia, China, seventeenth century - More than three hundred
years have not dimmed the brilliant design and classic formal elegance
of this spectacular antique Ningsia carpet, made in an imperial Chinese
workshop. The field displays a honeycomb lattice made up of hexagons
comprised in turn by rhombuses with meander fillers. The rich,
multi-leveled complexity of the design is nicely offset by the
restrained palette of blues and tans, even in the surrounding meander
border as well. To western eyes, the masterful field design appears
almost three-dimensional, like clusters of cubes seen in perspective.
