Antique Chinese Ivory 1935 Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This exceptional Chinese weaving from the mid-1930s presents a commanding design centered on a serene ivory ground. The restrained palette, featuring slate blue and soft terracotta accents, exemplifies the sophisticated color choices favored in early 20th-century Chinese production. The field is dynamically populated by four powerful, stylized dragons flanking a central circular medallion, which incorporates the traditional Shou symbol for longevity. These mythical creatures are balanced by surrounding phoenix motifs and stylized floral elements that soften the overall presentation. The scale of this piece is particularly noteworthy, utilizing its large format to allow the primary figures ample space to breathe, preventing the complexity of the design from feeling crowded.
