Red Antique Oriental Chinese Rug

Borrowing from the new and the old, this palatial Chinese carpet showcases a formal dragon medallion with traditional symbols and design elements that are depicted in a fresh, creative manner. Mauves and bright azures inject the traditional palette of soft camel brown and clear blue with vivid Art Deco accents. The Directional composition features five fantastically detailed dragons accompanied by ruyi clouds and heavily stylized vapours. These airy and fiery elements are grounded by splashing waves and jutting peaks that provide a sense of balance and tradition. A lone shou symbol protected by the dominant dragon figure marks the Centre of the field and functions as a creative Art Deco medallion. This dramatic scene has framed by delicate floral bands and crisp Greek key borders that have the same balance of tradition and invention.

Woven with fine hand-spun wool which has been woven with traditional hand-knotting techniques which have been used for generations. The vivid colours come from natural dyeing techniques used because of their vivid colour production. This piece is sure to make the perfect accent piece in both traditional and modern home staples. Suitable for use as a bedroom rug, living room rug, entranceway rug or dining room
