A NINGXIA ‘DRAGON’ PILLAR RUG, NORTH CHINA, 19TH CENTURY

Hand-knotted and woven in wool in tones of blue, orange, white, pink, and brown, depicting a long sinuous dragon pursuing a flaming pearl as its body writhes vertically across a maize-yellow ground, its scaled body terminating in five-clawed feet and a streaming tail, surrounded by auspicious emblems and scrolling clouds.

The upper register is centered by a fierce zipak mask beneath a broad geometric band from which descend festooned strings of beads arranged in scallops and punctuated by pendent ornaments. Below, a broad lishui border, with a central mountain peak rising above rhythmic bands of multicolored waves issuing from scrolling clouds.

Provenance: Collection of Martin Doustar, Brussels, Belgium, acquired in Hong Kong in the early 2000s. Martin Doustar is a Brussels-based art dealer and collector whose career spans more than two decades. He began his professional journey in the early 2000s with a focus on Modern Art, developing a keen interest in the ways early twentieth-century artists were influenced by ‘primitive’ art from Africa and Oceania. Over time, his connoisseurship expanded into archaeological and ethnographic fields, with particular expertise in the ancient arts of the Pacific, Africa, and pre-Columbian America, while also encompassing Asian material culture and modern masterpieces. He is the author of numerous scholarly catalogs and has organized thematic exhibitions on a wide range of subjects.
Condition: Very good condition with some wear, weaving irregularities, traces of use, and minor fading, and minuscule losses.

Dimensions: Size 250 x 85 cm

Carpets of this format were intended to be wrapped around the pillars in Buddhist temples so that the designs joined to form a continuous pattern. The drawing of the dragon in the present lot is particularly imposing as he writhes across the field in pursuit of the flaming pearl, the symbol of wisdom, that remains forever just out of reach. It is believed that these pieces were woven by Muslim weavers from the late 18th century in the province of Ningxia in China, although most were destined for monasteries within Mongolia or Tibet. Along with the stylized clouds and decorative ornate pelmet as seen here, the dragon is often surrounded by a number of Buddhist symbols such as 'the knot of destiny', the wheel, conch shell, fish and lotus flower.
