A Large Rare Beautiful 17th Century Antique Chinese Ningxia Rug 1234, Country of Origin: Chinese Rug, Circa: Late-17th Century – This heavenly 17th century antique Chinese Ningxia rug is truly a rare find. It uses only three colors to create complex geometric forms that give the antique Chinese rug a sense of earthiness and unity. Blues, brown, and honey colors create a feeling of earth and sky or perhaps water.

The antique

rug uses an all over pattern in the field with a cross motif medallion, a swastika

and honeycomb motif in the borders that continues the same design

elements. A simple brown border frames the magnificent 17th century rug and

provides an element of color and interest. A light blue line on the innermost

border gives the small scatter size rug feeling of depth, as if the

main field of the rug is further back. This enhances the idea that the main

borders of the highly collectible rug serve to support and frame the

design in the main field.

The

regularly spaced motifs give the antique Chinese Ninghxia rug a sense of order

and balance. It has horizontal and vertical symmetry, which add to the balance

of the antique rug from China. The central focal point of the 17th century

Chinese Ninghxia rug is not marked by a design element, but rather the

background design. This rug can be interpreted as either clouds in a clear blue

sky or tiny waves on the water.

The design

in the background of the antique Ningxia rug creates a feeling of motion and

allows it to serve as a main element of the design, rather than as a supporting

role. The antique Chinese Ninghxia rug is designed so that none of the elements

stand out on their own which encourages the viewer to take in the piece as a

whole. Regardless of how you interpret the design of the antique Oriental

rug, it is a truly rare and beautiful find and would add beauty to any home

decor.
