With its incredible detail and texture, this hand knotted wool antique Chinese Ningxia bench runner is a captivating vision of woven beauty. The traditional Chinese style and symbolic colorway woven into this piece work together creating a truly unique look.

Aside from the rich cultural symbolism, this piece is beautifully rendered in a marvelous color palette.

Whether placed on the floor or hung on the wall as artwork, this antique Chinese textile is perfect for a hallway, long entry or foyer, corridor, home office, study, studio, den, bedroom, living room, dining room, home library, mudroom, gameroom, billiards room, and even a hotel lobby.
