No Reserve - Antique Chinese Imperial Medallion Dragon Rug
Size: 17 ft 3 in x 14 ft 10 in (5.26 m x 4.52 m)
Provenance: From the Los Angeles residence of a collector
A charming antique Chinese Imperial dragon rug with a golden field and auspicious medallions, woven circa 1920 and rooted in China's imperial weaving tradition. Five round medallions, each containing a powerful imperial dragon in motion, preside over the golden field — designs historically reserved for only the highest ranks of Chinese society. Symbolic cloud scrollwork and auspicious emblems frame the composition, while the refined palette of gold, deep blue, and muted coral allows this historically significant and visually striking piece to speak to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
