About the Item
A very fine and rare antique throne back cover from Yarkand, in eastern Turkestan, hand knotted entirely in pure silk. A true gem of a weaving, with that perfect balance of colour and design that makes me love rugs so much. A central roundel composed of affronting (or kissing) dragons, surrounded by four delicate lotus flowers with outstretching leafy stems. The silk texture gives a silvery sparkle to the refined polychromy. A piece of true museum quality in excellent condition. What more is there to desire?
This piece is featured in our current web exhibition entitled 'Hunting and Gathering: China, Tibet
East Turkestan'.
