About the Item
Ningxia Pillar rug, XIX century. This special hand knotted carpet was wrapped around a pillar or a column of the buddhis temples or in the imperial palaces in China, Mongolia and Tibet ( in Tibet they were called Katum). This carpet surrounds the column creating a refined optical effect . This item brings in its decoration, a very important pattern of the imperial Chinese culture. Starting from the bottom, we can appreciate the proportion and the balance of the so called “Rainbow border”, consisting of parallel wavy stripes in a soft lovely combination of colors, radiating from the edge of the field. This kind of border was used only at the bottom of the rug in conjunction with the “sacred mountain” motif. The center of this pillar carpet is decorated with two opposite dragons linked by a bold “ruyi cloud” (in Chinese Ruyi means “as you wish”). The Ruyi cloud motif is used in earlier Chinese than are drifting clouds. The dragons represented in this pillar carpet, bring five claws, synonym of noble and monastic importance. The Chinese imperial carpets with dragon patterns, always have five claws. Around the dragon runs drifited clouds and Ruyi clouds in a delicate alternation of colors. Going up, in the centre, is located the “precious pearl” motif. The pearl symbolizes perfection and it is one of the “eight precious things” associated with Confucianism. Above the sacred pearl motif, a parallel row of pendants are accompanied by a delicate grill. This alternation gives additional harmony and elegance to the carpet. A dark blue background “pearl border” anticipate the end of the carpet adorned with a reciprocating border in tridimensional effect . This antique Chinese Ningcia carpet is in very good condition, professionally cleaned and ready to be displayed in a very important room.
