Midcentury Chinese Handmade Wool Rug in Light Brown, Red, Purple, Red and Ivory

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A second quarter 20th century Chinese rug, the light brown field with a spacious overall design of delicate scrolling vinery, sparse purple, red and ivory flowers and enlarged red floral shapes containing subtle key patterns within a border of plain cinnamon stripes.

Decorative vintage runner rugs for the western market were originally made in countries such as India, Persia and Turkey. As the industrial revolution created a new merchant class, antique decorative rugs were a sought-after status symbol demonstrating wealth and good taste. Watch any period film set in the late 19th or early 20th centuries and you will almost certainly see an oriental antique rug on the floor.
