Description
Beijing (China) carpet
Late 20th century.
Wool pile on a cotton backing.
Against a champagne-coloured background, four majestic dragons in old rose and celadon, undulating amongst the clouds, frame a circular medallion in which one of their kind is coiled. The border consists of a traditional design symbolising a cluster of clouds in warm colours (ruyi yun), surmounted by breaking waves and their foam (haishui). A magnificent design steeped in symbolism.
