About the Item

This Imperial Palace silk and metal rug, measuring 155 x 242 cm (5' 1" x 7' 11"), is a magnificent example of luxurious rug art, likely designed for the elite class or royalty of China. The rug is crafted from fine silk, combined with metallic threads, which give it a radiant, almost shimmering quality. Its rich golden-brown field is filled with intricate floral and vine motifs, perfectly woven in shades of soft blue, pale yellow, and earthy brown, which evoke an air of elegance and refinement. At the center of the rug, a circular medallion stands out, featuring an elaborate design of flowers and scrolling patterns, framed by surrounding floral details that repeat symmetrically across the field. The corners of the rug are adorned with darker brown sections filled with delicate floral arrangements, creating a striking contrast against the lighter background. The borders are equally intricate, framed with more floral patterns, finely detailed in pale blue, yellow, and white hues, bordered by geometric motifs that complete the design. The outer edges feature finely knotted fringes, adding to the craftsmanship's delicate nature. This rug, with its luxurious materials and regal design, likely originated from a palace setting, and the use of metal threads not only signifies its high status but also reflects the importance of such rugs in imperial China. The combination of soft silk and metallic accents gives the rug a tactile and visual richness, perfect for display in a sophisticated interior or as part of a valuable collection.
