18th Century Imperial Ningxia Chinese Throne Back Cover with Lion Dog
About the Item
A very rare Imperial Ningxia throne cover from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, distinguished by an exquisitely drawn lion dog, which is an auspicious symbol of protection and power, surmounted by a stylised cloud band and flanked below by a pair of lotus flowers with tendrils, symbols of purity. The soft and silky wool in pristine condition makes this example a true gem of early Chinese weaving, and a collectable example of Museum quality.

- Early Chinese Kangxi Period '1662-1722' Ningxia Rug with Blossom PalmettesLocated in Milan, ITA very unusual Chinese rug, possibly used originally as a dais cover, which had been previously attributed to the Western region of Gansu (H. König, Gansu, Hali 138, London 2005, pl. 13, p. 58). However both the structure and the colours are fairly typical of Ningxia weavings from the Kangxi period (1662-1722), which marks the first Qing Dynasty empire following the Ming Dynasty and which still carries much of its iconography. Of particular note are the four stylised blue dragons on a coral background which decorate the corners of the composition. A true masterpiece of early Chinese textile art.Category
