About the Item
In this amazing textile, dragons with five claws are flying among the clouds and seem to be protecting a very special diamond. In the past, the dragon was a symbol of power and luck. During the Chinese Imperial Empire, the Emperor of China used the dragon as a symbol of his power. The clouds you see in this carpet are one of the most important elements of Chinese tradition. They are a symbol of celestial realms and in Chinese mythology it is believed that dragons can create clouds with their breath. This rare and special textile with its unique color palette of red, beige, brown and blue will take you into the depths of mythical stories.
