This beautiful Oriental rug is a flat weave 2'6" x 13'9" Chinese Art Deco floor runner, circa 2000s. This hand knotted rug is made with a 100% wool and is in good condition. This rug is very unique as it uses two different weaving techniques on one rug. Antique Chinese Rugs and Carpets as opposed to most of the antique rug productions were woven almost exclusively for internal consumption. Since they were mostly sheltered from European and western influences, this offers us the reason why these carpets have a very unique truly ethnically Chinese look and appeal. Only during the early part of the 19th century did they open their markets to the countries of the west (for rugs – they have been exporting porcelain, bronzes, wooden and other works of art for many years prior to the 19th century).
