Antique Furniture |

 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Silk
Rug
This Chinese silk rug will make your foyer look
even warmer and more welcoming. Traditional motifs of
beautiful Chinese women in traditional clothes mingle
with classic blossoms and vines. A palette of wine, teal,
ginger, olive, and touches of black gives this rug unusual
depth and sophistication. The extraordinary color variation
and definition of each flower on our silk rug is what
makes it so unique.
