On the design:

Connoisseurs will admire Ningxia as a particular quality of Chinese rugs and even East Turkestani Khotan Samarkand rugs of this sensibility. In this piece, a gold field underscore, a sky blue dragon and ruyi cloud motifs, matching the hues of upper-and-lower cloudband borders alike. It’s a nod to a regal, dramatic period piece in a contemporary quality that also recaptures the classic look of abrash in its colors—exemplary of our collection and its aspirations. Keen eyes will admire the particular play of elegant and whimsical, less-formal sensibility that denotes some of our principal’s favorite vintage and antique patterns like those that inspired this line. less
