About the Item
This Imperial Antique Silk & Metal Chinese rug, measuring 201 x 120 cm, is a breathtaking piece of opulence and exquisite craftsmanship, designed to captivate and enchant with its amazing details and luxurious materials. The rug’s rich history and royal origins are evident in every aspect of its design, making it a true masterpiece of Chinese art. The central field of the rug is a mesmerizing blend of silk and metal threads, creating a shimmering surface that catches the light like a jewel-studded crown. The background is a bronze providing a dramatic contrast to the intricate patterns woven throughout. At the heart of the rug, a lush floral motif unfolds, with peonies, lotuses, and chrysanthemums in full bloom. These flowers, rendered in soft pastels and golden hues, seem to burst from the fabric, their petals delicately outlined in shimmering metal threads. Each flower is a symbol of prosperity and beauty, their vibrant colors and lifelike details inviting the viewer to marvel at nature’s splendor. Surrounding the central floral arrangement are graceful vines and foliage, their sinuous lines adding movement and depth to the design. These elements are interspersed with traditional Chinese symbols of longevity and good fortune, including the double happiness character and intricate cloud motifs, each one masterfully detailed in fine silk and metal threads. Framing this central tableau is a series of ornate borders, each one more intricate than the last. The innermost border features a Greek key pattern in gold and blue, its interlocking lines symbolizing infinity and eternal harmony. This is followed by a wider band of floral and geometric motifs in rich shades of gold, copper, and deep blue, adding layers of depth and complexity to the overall design. The outermost border, a luxurious blend of golden silk and metal threads, is adorned with intricate lattice patterns and auspicious symbols, creating a frame that is both regal and refined. The fringed edges, in matching golden hues, add a final touch of elegance, their delicate strands reminiscent of the fine embroidery on imperial robes. The texture of the rug is as sumptuous as its design, with the soft, luxurious feel of silk complemented by the cool, smooth touch of metal threads. This combination creates a tactile experience that is both unique and inviting, each knot and weave a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it. This Imperial Antique Silk & Metal Chinese rug is more than a decorative piece; it is a work of art that embodies the richness and grandeur of Chinese imperial history. Its vivid colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious materials make it a perfect centerpiece for any room, inviting admiration and contemplation of its timeless beauty and cultural significance.
