AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Origin and description:
Traditional Chinese Khaden (also known as Kha-gdan), a type of seating and sleeping rug. The composition is set against a rich brown field, featuring two mythical Buddhist Fo dogs (guardian lions), depicted with dragon-like characteristics and positioned in dynamic pursuit around a flowing band of stylised clouds. The four corner sections are adorned with colourful lotus blossoms and inward-curving foliage, adding balance and elegance to the overall design. The main border is decorated with traditional Chinese motifs, including lotus flowers and scrolling vines, while the inner border features a distinctive meander pattern, characteristic of rugs from this weaving tradition. The combination of auspicious Buddhist imagery, floral ornamentation and vibrant colours gives this piece a particularly appealing decorative quality and reflects the rich symbolism of traditional Chinese textile design. An attractive and characterful decorative piece, distinguished by its striking mythological imagery, colourful floral details and traditional Chinese motifs.
Age: Circa 1960.
Dimensions: Approximately 177 × 93 cm (5'10" × 3'1").
Condition: good overall condition
