The Antique Chinese - Silk Chinese Allover Geometric Knotted Rug is an exceptional example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, dating back to circa 1925. Hand-knotted in China using lustrous silk, this rectangular rug features a remarkable sheen and depth. The vibrant gold, orange, and yellow field is adorned with two powerful Imperial dragons ascending amidst stylized clouds and waves, symbolizing power and prosperity. A deep indigo outer guard border provides a dramatic contrast to the central design, which includes traditional Chinese fretwork, geometric key patterns, and delicate floral sprays of peonies and lotus blossoms. With a 0.5-inch pile height and manageable scatter size dimensions, this luxurious piece serves as a versatile decorative accent or a statement piece for collectors. Its fine knotting and precise color transitions highlight the technical skill of the Republican era.
