About the Item

An exceptional mid-20th century silk rug featuring an intricate dragon motif throughout, symbolizing power and prosperity. The rug measures approximately 79 inches by 49 inches (6.6 ft x 4.1 ft) and showcases a stunning rich coral background accentuated by vivid blue and green tones. The central design depicts a majestic dragon surrounded by clouds and auspicious symbols, all meticulously handwoven in fine silk with remarkable attention to detail. The lower section features stylized ocean waves rendered in layered shades of blue and green, representing strength and renewal. Framed by a traditional patterned border, this rug beautifully combines vibrant color harmony with traditional East Asian symbolism. Overall condition is very good for its age, with expected light wear consistent with mid-20th century craftsmanship. A fine decorative piece that bridges artistry with the aesthetics of classical Chinese-inspired dragon iconography—perfect for collectors of Asian textiles or as an elegant wall display.
