{"product_id":"hand-knotted-tibetan-khaden-rug-ivory-bat-blossom-field","title":"Hand-Knotted Tibetan Khaden Rug | Ivory Bat Blossom Field","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-knotted antique Tibetan khaden rug from the late 19th–early 20th century (circa 1880–1920), presenting an all-over painterly blossom field on a luminous undyed wool ground. Four corner bat motifs — rare auspicious emblems invoking the Chinese fu (blessing) symbolism — seal the composition with protective energy. A rich palette of 16 colours. Very well preserved with no repairs. Measures 95 x 170 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly poetic and quietly sophisticated example of a Tibetan khaden, where spontaneity and symbolism are held in delicate balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique Tibetan khaden unfolds as a lyrical field of quiet abundance, where design is guided less by rigid structure and more by an intuitive, almost painterly sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet against a luminous ground of undyed wool, a constellation of stylised blossoms spreads across the surface in an all-over composition that feels spontaneous yet deeply considered. Each flower is individually articulated — some softly diffused, others crisply outlined in deep brown — creating a gentle visual rhythm that avoids repetition while maintaining harmony. The blossoms appear to hover lightly across the field, evoking the impression of a flowering meadow suspended in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinking many of these motifs are delicate stems and pendant leaves rendered in muted and soft tones. These faint connective lines introduce a subtle vertical movement, suggesting organic growth and continuity. The composition is intentionally open, allowing space — both literal and visual — to play an active role in the aesthetic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the four corners of the field appear small, stylised bats, discreet yet symbolically potent. The four bats are of particular importance. In Chinese symbolism, the bat (fu) is a homophone for \"blessing\" or \"good fortune.\" Their corner placement suggests a protective and encompassing presence, effectively sealing the rug with auspicious energy. Their inclusion is both rare and significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: Late 19th century to early 20th century (circa 1880–1920)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very well preserved for its age, with a gentle, even wear consistent with careful use.
