The Blue Mid 19th Century Antique Five Clawed Chinese Dragons Square Ningxia Rug is an exceptional example of 19th-century Chinese weaving from the late Qing Dynasty. Hand-knotted in China using high-quality wool, this square rug features a deep indigo field that provides a dramatic backdrop for its powerful iconography. The design showcases four stylized dragons swirling around a flaming pearl of wisdom, framed by intricate borders and stylized cloud bands. Its rich palette of saturated navy, golden camel tones, and pale blue accents creates a dynamic visual effect in a classic central medallion format. With a 0.5-inch pile height and compact dimensions, this well-preserved antique piece was likely intended for ceremonial use or as a decorative seat cover, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of textile history.
