Vintage Chinese Art Deco Dragon Rug - Blue & Gold Hand-Knotted Wool (158x70cm)
Absolutely stunning vintage Chinese Art Deco rug in a rare, vibrant "Nichols Blue." This is a genuine hand-knotted wool piece, not a modern reproduction. It features a beautiful design of four imperial dragons surrounding a floral center, with longevity symbols (Shou) in the corners.
The rug is exceptionally thick and plush with a heavy pile that feels wonderful underfoot. It is in excellent vintage condition with no major stains, odours, or heavy wear. The colors remain incredibly saturated. Perfect as a bedside rug, a hallway runner, or a statement piece for a maximalist or Chinoiserie-style interior.
