1900s Chinese PaoTao wool rug with deer, blue & ivory, 67 × 131 cm - 1C1306

Handmade in China and dating to the early 1900s, this antique wool rug features a pictorial composition in layered blues. Spotted deer are positioned at either end of a deep blue field, surrounded by leafy branches and smaller animal motifs. Ivory accents highlight the antlers, facial details, and spots against the darker background. Softer blue tones add depth to the foliage and border, creating a restrained palette with varied tonal character. The rug is hand-knotted from wool and measures 67 × 131 cm, making it suitable as a decorative accent beside a bed, in a study, or in a small entrance area. The rug is in good overall condition, with age-related pile wear, colour variation, and uneven fringes.
