Beautiful Antique Dragon Design Chinese Ningxia Runner Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1900 – Though simple in its presence, this attractive antique Chinese rug relies on stark and bright colors to set the scene. Vibrant, almost vermilion red dominates the landscape, acting as the primary background to the rest of the activities that take place at the rug’s foreground. Standing against this gorgeous color are instances of rich black, pale yellow and soft blue. The antique Chinese Ningxia rug conveys a clear scene, where a magnificent Chinese dragon soars over a palace, the dragon’s long body coiling in the air in its path of flight. Above the beautiful Chinese dragon rug design is the head of another dragon, set beneath a geometric border that combines simple shapes to create an almost heraldic element watching over the mythological scene in this truly artistic hallway runner rug.
