拍品专文

This carpet exhibits salient characteristics of 18th century Chinese weavings with its precise drawing, composition, coloring and structure. The design of a Buddhist lion on a 'grains of rice' field is quite rare, with only four others from this period known (see Franses, Michael and Watherhouse, Rupert, eds., Classical Chinese Carpets I, London, 2000, p. 89).
