Antique Silk Hallway Runner Silk Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece is woven entirely of silk, providing a lustrous sheen that enhances the complexity of its design. Originating from the early 20th century, this runner represents a sophisticated blend of traditional iconography and refined coloration, making it a highly desirable example among antique rugs. The central field is dominated by a luminous ivory ground, which serves as a perfect canvas for the intricate mythological scene. Symmetrical pairs of imperial dragons, rendered in shimmering gold and speckled blue silk, coil amidst stylized clouds and auspicious symbols, creating a dynamic yet balanced composition typical of high-quality East Asian weaving. The borders provide a striking contrast to the pale field, featuring complex, undulating wave patterns in deep indigo and sage green.
