About the Item
Antique Chinese - Mongolian rug, size: 17'0" x 17'2".
Antique Large Chinese - Mongolian Chinese Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving presents a dramatic contrast, utilizing deep indigo blue against a field of luminous ivory and cream. This classic palette evokes the elegance of traditional Chinese export porcelain, translating that refined aesthetic into a monumental floor covering.
The design is characterized by a central roundel featuring two confronting dragons, symbols of imperial power and good fortune. Surrounding this focal point, various auspicious objects—including stylized vases, censers, and potted fruit trees—are scattered across the field, typical of high-quality antique rugs from this period.
The impressive dimensions of this piece confirm its status as a significant commission, designed to anchor a grand interior space. Finding such a well-preserved example of this scale is rare, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking large and oversized Chinese weavings that retain their original vibrancy.
The complex border system frames the composition with multiple guard bands featuring refined meander patterns and stylized cloud bands. While the overall composition is pictorial, the structured borders rely heavily on traditional geometric motifs, providing a disciplined counterpoint to the fluidity of the central iconography.
