Early 19th Century Chinese Ningxia Kang Carpet ( 6’5″ 11’4″ – 195 x 345 )
The k’ang is a heated seating platform in northern Chinese houses and it is often covered by a rug for extra comfort. Kang rugs are long and relatively narrow as on this circa 1825 rug from Ningxia or Suiyuan in northern China. The classic “Grains of rice” pattern underlays a paeony medallion and 14 tree paeony blossoms. The fret corners and paeony/arabesque peach border add to the traditional rigour.
