Vintage Large Silk Chinese Allover Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1980s. This exceptional piece, woven from luxurious silk, exemplifies the refined elegance of the Chinese weaving tradition. The rug presents a stunning, deep indigo field characterized by a high sheen that catches the light beautifully, typical of fine silk pile. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated blue color, providing a dramatic backdrop for the mythological figures. In the upper left and lower right corners, the traditional pairing of the Dragon and the Phoenix is rendered in soft, contrasting tones of cream and pale gold. Despite the title suggesting an allover pattern, the composition utilizes negative space masterfully, allowing the central expanse of silk to shimmer uninterrupted. A wide, pale gold border frames the composition, providing a necessary visual lift against the dark field.
