Dating back to the turn of the 1900 , this exquisite piece transports you to a world where every knot is a whisper from the past.

Its palette, an enchanting dance of light blues and deep blues, draws you in like a serene ocean under a moonlit night. The field, uncluttered and vast, is a canvas for a central tableau that steals your breath away. Here, a flowering tree stands proud, its branches heavy with blossoms, a symbol of life in full bloom. Beside it, a pagoda rises like a sentinel, a guardian of secrets lost to time. But it's the camel that truly captures the heart, a symbol of fortune and prosperity in the tapestry of Chinese mythology. Its presence promises blessings and good tidings to all who gaze upon it. Each thread, each painstakingly hand-knotted fiber of wool, tells a story of dedication and patience. The weavers of old poured their souls into this masterpiece, creating not just a rug but a work of art that has transcended generations. less
