oversized! This circa 1900 oversized Mandarin Chinese Oriental Rug #7731 in an Art Deco design measures 10’0” x 13’6” ( 304 x 414 cm). It is a very attractive palace sized Mandarin Chinese Carpet with a hanging basket which comes down from the middle of the rug suspended by a rhomboid with a hash mark “Shou” for long life and prosperity. It hangs from a long black cord with a bow and checkerboard holding the handle of the basket which contains a massive array of beautiful flowers in rose, two shades of blue, ivory, two shades of red, three shades of green and tobacco. The borders are worked with a grey minor border and a major border in medium blue containing birds, rhomboids, meandering flowers and vines in a very asymmetric layout. There is one low area of the rug in the left corner. It is not a big deal. Otherwise the rug has very good pile of beautiful soft Mandarin wool. The ends and sides are complete. It is clean and ready to go. https://antiqueorientalrugs.com/product/7731-mandarin-chinese-art-deco-rug/
