About the Item

Knotted in silk over cotton warp and weft, this Antique Chinese rug measure 180 x 95 cm. Seemingly simple, the decoration of this rug is instead full of meaning. The sacred mountain, the horse, the big pine tree, the Buddha dog, the deer, and the butterflies, all these figures have meaning. The mountains, in mythology are imbued with sacred power, are the manifestations of the vital energy of nature. The horse, emblem of nobility, elegance, speed, and power, has been enriched over time with supernatural values cloaked in legendary accounts. Having pine trees on the property is said to be very auspicious. The Buddha's dog or foo dog, the indomitable guardian lion, a defense from all bad influences. The deer, in Chinese art, symbolizes endurance, grace and a long life. Butterflies, by nature, delicate, are the messengers of good news. Wouldn’t you be grateful for such a blessing in your home?
