Inspired by the legendary pictorial traditions of antique Oriental rugs, the piece is reimagined in a contemporary, abstract fashion that still honors the bold, regal nature and dramatic beauty of the imperial dragon in Chinese mythological illustrations.

On the Design:

Connoisseurs may admire this distressed rug’s particularly dramatic design, which recaptures historic pictorial representations of dragons in a sophisticated play of warm terracotta, golden saffron, and muted blue tones.

The bold graphic vision enjoys a unique modern approach, featuring the rippling curvature of two monumental dragons rising from a stylized, mountainous landscape. Their forms are rendered with an impressionistic softness, where the movement of the weave creates a mesmerizing dimensionality that bridges the gap between ancient mythology and shabby chic luxury.

One of our new favorites for its "expressionist" spirit, this rug is ideal for projects eyeing an iconic Oriental vibe with a refined, weathered texture. It perfectly balances the durability of a premier modern rug with the grand, artisanal nature of a hand-knotted masterpiece.

The weathered "distressed" finish lends a sense of history to the vibrant palette, offering a smart sense of chic and a versatile scale seldom seen in luxury rugs of this caliber. It is a stunning document of Rug & Kilim’s ability to breathe new life into never-before-seen patterns, making it a centerpiece for any interior seeking a touch of the sublime. See less
