Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be what you suggested. A Nichols chinese rug. Depicted is a scholar´s rock with orchids, bamboo with birds behind it. To the right a basin with a lotus in bloom, buddhist treasures and peonies in the borders. The rug appears to be in very good condition. The estimate is based on auction results for similar. If offered in the right well advertised auction a result above the high estimate might be possible.
