Antique Chinese Dragon & Phoenix Tapestry in Brown Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This 4x6 antique Chinese tapestry is a rare and special new curation from Rug & Kilim featuring dragon and phoenix pictorials — hand woven in wool and originating from China circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This extraordinary antique Chinese tapestry presents a masterful rendition of the iconic dragon and phoenix motif, executed with exceptional virtuosity in a restrained palette of cream, warm brown, and subtle coral accents. The composition dramatically captures the mythological confrontation between the sinuous dragon and majestic phoenix against a deep umber ground, their bodies rendered in luminous ivory tones that seem to emerge from the darkness with ethereal presence. The handling of the creatures' forms — from the dragon's undulating scales to the phoenix's elaborate plumage — demonstrates remarkable craftsmanship, while the traditional geometric border provides an elegant frame. The piece embodies the symbolic duality of Chinese mythology, where the dragon's noble power meets the phoenix's graceful glory, creating a harmonious balance that speaks to both aesthetic refinement and auspicious meaning in East Asian decorative traditions. Condition: This antique Chinese tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
