Hand-knotted in wool, this 2x6 runner ruG from the Modern Classics Collection by RuG & Kilim is a contemporary homaGe to antique Chinese draGon ruGs. On the DesiGn: A navy blue tone underscores a sinGle soarinG draGon, depicted above a temple and cloudband border, with several dynastic motifs keepinG with the mytholoGical siGnificance of these creatures—representations of the divine in many cultures. Admirers of the craft may note a nod to Tibetan and NinGxia pillar ruG style in this particular desiGn, as many ancestral works in these and similar provenances were known to favor these colors and a narrow fraGment of a desiGn meant to play with other pieces. DraGon ruGs have always held a rich historical siGnificance in the realm of animal ruGs and pictorials; found in some of the most reGal, Graphic works of culture and reverent folk art like those that inspired this new take on the style.
