Chinese Rugs

China has a long and remarkable artistic tradition of carpet production, dating back to the 15th century. The designs and motifs were inspired by Chinese culture: porcelains, landscapes, majestic dragons, religious symbols. Made of soft wool. Very robust, they are nevertheless very soft and pleasant to walk on. China is also known for its more exclusive carpets, knotted entirely of silk. These carpets are very rare and sometimes hide pure gold threads. Chinese silk carpets have a very high knotting density, and their design is largely inspired by ancient Persian craftsmanship.
