Hand-knotted in wool, this 2x6 runner rug from the Modern Classics Collection by Rug & Kilim is a contemporary homage to antique Chinese dragon rugs.
On the Design:
A navy blue tone underscores a single soaring dragon, depicted above a temple and cloudband border, with several dynastic motifs keeping with the mythological significance of these creatures—representations of the divine in many cultures. Admirers of the craft may note a nod to Tibetan and Ningxia pillar rug style in this particular design, as many ancestral works in these and similar provenances were known to favor these colors and a narrow fragment of a design meant to play with other pieces. Dragon rugs have always held a rich historical significance in the realm of animal rugs and pictorials; found in some of the most regal, graphic works of culture and reverent folk art like those that inspired this new take on the style. less
