Ancient Chinese carpet, Baotou - late 19th century

Elegant antique Chinese Baotou rug from the late 19th century, featuring a remarkable floral design on a nuanced blue background. The central field is adorned with a circular floral medallion, surrounded by rich bouquets in the corners. The whole is framed by a beautiful border with a Greek key pattern, typical of Chinese production from this period. Origin: China - Period: Late 19th century - Material: Hand-knotted wool. Condition: Rug sold in its found state. Very dusty, requiring a complete cleaning. It has several old restorations, particularly along the border and in the field. Despite these imperfections, it retains a strong decorative appeal and authentic charm.
