About the Item

Mid 19th century pair of Chinese Kesi Textile ( 2' x 3'8" - 61 x 111 cm). Antique Chinese – Textile Chinese Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece, though categorized as a knotted rug for inventory purposes, is fundamentally a framed, finely woven Chinese textile panel dating from the late Qing Dynasty. It captures the elegance and narrative artistry typical of mid-19th century Chinese decorative arts. The composition centers on a graceful female figure, perhaps an immortal or court lady, rendered in delicate line work and subtle shading. The background provides a serene canvas, utilizing a soft ivory color rugs palette that highlights the figure’s elaborate robes, which feature soft blues, pinks, and subtle gold accents. Her garments are richly detailed with embroidered elements, incorporating auspicious symbols and delicate floral motifs carried in a basket over her shoulder. Given its dimensions as a vertical panel, this artwork functions aesthetically like a small scatter size piece, perfect for intimate display spaces where fine detail can be appreciated. This framed artwork offers a unique perspective on the broader category of antique rugs and floor coverings, demonstrating the versatility of fiber arts in 19th-century China. It is a rare example of pictorial weaving preserved in outstanding condition, reflecting the refined taste and sophisticated craftsmanship of the period.
