Antique Late Ming Rug with Emperor on Clouds, 1800

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Behold, a magnificent antique rug from the late Ming Dynasty period, a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient China. Crafted from the finest wool and meticulously hand-knotted, this masterpiece is a window into a bygone era, where legends and traditions interweave to create something truly extraordinary.

At its heart, an emperor stands upon a billowing cloud, shaping the very heavens above. It's a scene born from legend and folklore, where these splendid clouds were believed to protect the Emperor of China, revered as the Son of Heaven. Over time, the "auspicious cloud" (祥雲, xiáng yún) became synonymous with good fortune, a symbol of blessings and prosperity.

Beneath this celestial tableau, a three-tiered pagoda graces the scene. Its elegant presence adds depth to the tapestry, a symbol of ancient spirituality and wisdom. It beckons us to explore the layers of history woven into this carpet.
