Antique Geometric Design Rug with Polychrome Diamonds
This antique rug features a striking geometric design with polychrome diamonds, part of a group of later Chinese carpets known for their geometric and often abstract patterns inspired by Western sensibilities. Interestingly, most of these weavings have been sourced recently in China, where they have been used in households since their creation. Despite their origins, the pattern of colored lozenges boasts an outstanding three-dimensional quality, comparable to essential objects of twentieth-century design.
