About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool, this 8x10 rug from the Modern Classics Collection by Rug & Kilim draws inspiration from antique dragon rugs in the Chinese pictorial style. On the Design: Navy blue underscores a field of five dragon medallions—four in the field corners surrounding the largest central figure, all depicted soaring among the clouds (meant to honor these mythological creatures as divine omens in traditional Chinese interpretations). Keen eyes will further admire the subtle details at work, from the notes of gold and brown and illustration of depth and dimension in the fretwork border to the look of abrashed striae in the field—all lending to the immersive look of a classic in our contemporary quality. Dragon rugs have always held a rich historical significance in the realm of animal rugs and pictorials; found in some of the most regal, graphic works of culture and reverent folk art like those that inspired this new take on the style. Custom Capable: All sizes and colors available—inquire for a quote.

Oversized Antique Chinese Peking Rug in Navy Blue with Pictorials - Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from China, this 11x13 oversized antique Peking rug features an intricate symbolic pictorial design with Buddhist and Taoist motifs on a midnight-blue field framed by a formal ivory border—an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s collection of late 19th century rugs. On the Design: Exemplifying pictorial traditions of late 19th century imperial workshop productions, this design centers on a distinctive hourglass-shaped medallion rendered in ivory with detailed scale patterns and internal floral motifs, likely representing a stylized Buddhist endless knot symbol. Surrounding this central element is a complex arrangement of auspicious symbols and narrative vignettes scattered across the deep blue field in a deliberate asymmetrical composition. Notable motifs include court figures, elephants with riders, vases, floral arrangements, and various Buddhist and Taoist emblems including ruyi scepters and cloud formations.The branching ivory-colored linear elements create structural organization across the field, connecting various pictorial elements while suggesting a cosmic or landscape framework. The border employs a formal arrangement with an ivory ground hosting Buddhist emblems and stylized floral motifs, punctuated by blue diamond patterns at the corners and midpoints. Calligraphic cartouches appear at the top and bottom borders, likely containing auspicious inscriptions or dedications. The restricted palette—predominantly indigo, ivory, and selective pale blue accents—creates visual coherence. This rug represents the refined aesthetic sensibilities of late Qing dynasty textile...
