About the Item

The rare carpets of Mongolia have in recent years achieved a stature of their own. They differ from traditional 19th century Chinese carpets in that they typically employ stylized patterns taken from early Chinese iconography and favour a palette of darker color combinations. Mongolian carpets are further distinguished by the use of lustrous wool of medium-high shear and by their floppy handle, resulting from the numerous weft passes inserted after each row of knots. Here the indigo blue field is distinguished by a central geometric medallion, derived from stylizations of the dragon motif, as well as by a repeat pattern along parallel town of the 'Shou' ideogram in its two versions. The 'Shou' ideogram signifies 'long life' in Chinese. The geometric corner elements, also stylized dragon elements, and the Greek-fret border are distinguishing features of early Mongolian carpets.
