About the Item

This exquisite Dragon Rug Antique Peking is a remarkable artifact of historical artistry, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated carpet-making traditions of ancient China. Crafted with care, this rug features a rich navy blue base, dramatically contrasted by golden motifs that symbolize prosperity and imperial power. Central to the rug’s design is a majestic dragon, exquisitely rendered and coiling gracefully across the field. The dragon, a revered symbol in Chinese culture, represents strength, good fortune, and the yang energy. Its dynamic form is surrounded by idetailed clouds and floral patterns, each element showcasing the precision and skill of the artisans who created this masterpiece. The border of the rug is just as striking, adorned with traditional Chinese motifs that include stylized floral elements and auspicious symbols, all rendered in a vibrant gold that stands out against the dark background. These decorative borders not only enhance the visual appeal of the rug but also frame the central imagery, creating a sense of harmony and balance. The use of high-quality wool and natural dyes in the rug’s construction not only adds to its beauty and depth of color but also contributes to its longevity, making it a durable piece that has stood the test of time. The craftsmanship involved in its creation is evident in every knot, showcasing a level of detail that is both rare and enchanting. This round Peking rug is more than just a floor covering; it is a piece of art that captures the essence of Chinese cultural heritage. Its circular shape adds a unique dimension to its placement, making it an ideal centerpiece for any room, offering both a striking focal point and a conversation starter. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Asian antiques, this Peking rug serves as a stunning reminder of the rich history and sophistication of Chinese weaving arts. It enhances any space with a touch of elegance and an air of timelessness, bridging the past and present with its enduring beauty. The measurement of this piece is 245 x 265 CM in size.
