Beautiful Antique Chinese Dragon Area Rug, country of Origin: China, Circa date: Turn of the 20th Century – Vibrant and beautifully preserved, the colors in this antique Chinese carpet are remarkable. Much the same could be said about the drawing, which is incredibly precise and meticulously done. A series of five dragons is arranged against a blue field, within which are several smaller, traditional Chinese elements of design, including clouds and other decorative elements. The dragons themselves are majestic and intimidating – and they are of the five-clawed Imperial Dragon variety, easily the most important and most sought after style. One dragon, resplendent with bright orange scales and an ivory and green mane, stands guard at each corner, his long body extending until it just about meets the next dragon. In the center of the field is one especially majestic dragon, facing frontward with a clever and complex smile curled over his lips. Beautifully woven and exciting, this antique Chinese carpet is an excellent Oriental rug.
