Rug differs from others of the same class, as the central medallion and corner spaces are not geometric but are filled with archaic dragons or scrolls based upon them.
Four geometric corners describe a square outside the central medallion. In different rug, six dragons surround a central medallion and a dragon form is in each of the four corners. This rug is surrounded by two geometric borders and one band of corrosive brown.
The rug shows in both medallion and inner corners geometric designs, and three dragons appear in the field at the top and bottom.
These rugs, with a few other well known authenticated specimens, constitute an honorable company of antiques at whatever period they were woven.
They antedate any other Chinese rugs obtainable at the present time.
