About the Item

A rare and elegant Tibetan rug in the khaden format distinguished by a beige background decorated by indigo blue scrolling peony flowers. The khaden format indicates that it was originally intended as a meditation rug for High Lamas in the Buddhist monasteries. The silky quality of the Himalayan wool, the fineness of weave and the very good condition contribute in placing this khaden at the pinnacle of the Tibetan weaving tradition.

Early Chinese Kangxi Period '1662-1722' Ningxia Rug with Blossom Palmettes
Located in Milan, IT
A 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.
