#7092 Kansu Rug
This 19th century antique Kansu? rug measures 3’2” x 6’0”.
It has a navy blue ground with a floral center medallion in Chinese fretwork. Chinese fretwork is also in the corners. The field is covered in a floral motif with bats
(good luck) and many representations of the Chinese character shui (good luck). The borders are very rare for this type of rug. The inner border is Greek key. The middle border is a reciprocal in blue and
white. The outer border has rhomboids
containing symbols for yin and yang, shui, Greek cross, flower heads and stars etc. This is very reminiscent of Ningxia. This
combination is very interesting to me. I’ve
never encountered it before in one rug. The
rug is full pile. The ends and sides are
complete. The rug is clean and ready to go.
