Museum Quality Antique Chinese Pillar Rug with Lotus Flowers
About the Item
A very unusual long and narrow pillar rug, decorated by large lotus flowers with tracery in a manner reminiscent of Ming period weavings. It is very finely woven with lustrous wool, and its in excellent, untouched condition. I have seen three other examples of this type, all of which fragmentary (one is published in K.T. Darchen, Secrets of Tibetan Weaving, Hong Kong 2012, p. 92). These were most probably commissioned at the turn of the century for a specific monastery in Tibet.
