"Chinese Dragon Rug. Circa 1920"
China, circa 1920, five-clawed dragon with phoenix, cloud patterns, mountain and wave symbols on a beige background.Wool rugs were a favorite of the Chinese for their softness, durability and shine. They were mainly used to cover temple benches, to pray or to hang on walls. The colors and patterns depended on the region where they were made. Wool rugs were rarely used for the floor, where felt rugs and carpets were laid, because they deteriorated easily due to the intense heat and high humidity of summer.
Dimensions: 180x120 cm
Condition: Good, patina of use. Reinforcement on two corners of the rug (bottom left and top right) see photos.
The carpet has been professionally washed
