Antique Chinese Ningxia Rug with Red and Gold Field

About the Item

With unfaded colours, this very interesting piece probably was used in a Buddhist monastery prayer hall, although the iconography of groups of four lion dogs in unusual. The logwood red field shows sunflower rosettes alternating with groups of lion dogs. The goldenrod border features bats. Usually such runners are cut into smaller pieces, so this one, with excellent contouring is doubly rare. Cotton foundation, coarse/moderate weave. Good condition. Around 1850 or so.

19th Century Ningxia Pillar Rug, with Beige Field and Blue Details

Located in New York, NY

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...
