The Mid 19th Century Antique Scenic Pictorial Chinese Dragon Silk Textile is a rare late Qing Dynasty piece originating from the 1850s. Woven entirely of lustrous silk, this needle-punched runner features a rich yellow field historically reserved for Imperial use. The highly pictorial design depicts immortals and scholars amidst a landscape of pagodas, clouds, and cranes, complemented by delicate floral motifs in pink and white. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this sophisticated textile serves as both a functional floor covering and a work of fine art. Its long, narrow dimensions make it an ideal choice for defining entryways or corridors with the elegance of 19th-century Chinese court art.
