Early 20th Century Chinese Oriental Beige, Blue, Brown and Orange Handmade Rug BB7004 4'7" × 8'4" $9,000

Chinese rugs are quite a mystery in the world of vintage rugs. Although not uncommon, their exotic beauty never fails to draw the attention of collectors and aficionados. Although contemporary Chinese rugs often find inspiration in Western Art, vintage carpets more often depict traditional themes and symbols, making them not only decorations, but also a valuable element of Chinese culture.

This beautiful Oriental rug was woven in the early 20th century, circa 1920. What makes it so interesting is certainly its stunning design. The dragon seen in the central field is certainly most eye-catching element of the design. It is accompanied by depictions of small clouds and an u-shaped figure, perhaps a horseshoe. The color palette of this rug consists of rather calm, yet pleasing shades of blue, red and beige. Rug’s size, 4’7″ × 8’4″ (139 × 254 cm), makes it a perfect addition to any interior.
