Description: Discover the Enchanting World of Antique Chinese Dragon Rugs Uncover the allure of a magnificent 3' x 5'6" antique Chinese dragon rug, a testament to the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and craftsmanship. This exquisite piece boasts a deep blue background adorned with a mesmerizing dragon design, offering a glimpse into the intricate artistry of Chinese rug weaving. Dragons, revered as symbols of good luck and power in Chinese and Tibetan mythology, take center stage in the design of these traditional rugs. Unlike their Western reputation, Chinese and Tibetan dragons are considered benevolent beings. The number of claws on a dragon holds significant meaning, with five claws symbolizing the emperor or the son of heaven, four claws for nobles, and three claws for ministers or commerce – a cultural nuance that adds depth to the narrative woven into each rug. Chinese antique rugs, such as this one, are crafted from the wool of China highland sheep, a vital resource to the local communities. What sets them apart is not just their stunning designs but also the unique knotting method employed during weaving, distinct from the techniques used in other regions. As the weavers draw inspiration from the natural beauty of China, the colors in these rugs are derived from dyes sourced from the elevated plateau. Blues, browns, greys, reds, and yellows dominate the color palette, with each hue carrying its own significance. The motifs, featuring geometric patterns and gau designs, hold cultural importance for the Chinese people. \For more items go to: ebay.com/str/peerantiquerugs
