70625 Antique Chinese Hooked Floral Area Rug, 08'06 x 11'06. 

Antique floral Chinese hooked rugs are traditional decorative pieces crafted using a hooking technique to produce intricate floral designs. They frequently showcase elaborate patterns of peonies, chrysanthemums, and other traditional Chinese motifs, employing a rich array of natural dyes. Typically made from wool, these rugs feature a dense, plush texture and were symbols of wealth and status in Chinese households. Genuine antique rugs, often over a century old, display signs of wear that enhance their charm. These rugs are highly prized by collectors and interior designers for their beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. 

This opulent hand-hooked Chinese French Aubusson rug captivates with a central medallion, a bouquet of spring flowers in pastel hues, encircled by a wreath of crested feathers. The light cream background provides an elegant canvas for this delicate arrangement, evoking a sense of timeless beauty.

In the spandrels, dainty pink roses bloom alongside tiny blue and lavender flowers, all intertwined with spring green foliage. This enchanting floral display brings a fresh, lively essence to the rug, as if the blossoms themselves were gently swaying in a soft breeze.

The border of the rug adds a striking contrast, with chocolate crests elegantly overlapping the field. This harmonious blend of colors and intricate details makes this rug a true masterpiece, worthy of admiration and destined to be a treasured addition to any home.
