Chinese
rugs have been
available for centuries and
are some of the most
prestigious styles available
today. There are reports of
rugs being woven in
north-central China as early
as 1696. Many area rugs from
this period had plain grounds
of pearl grey or navy with
wide solid-color borders. Our
Chinese
area rugs are
available in a variety of
size, style and color making
them a versatile collection.
Often made of wool
or silk
however they can be made of
virtually any material
including synthetics like
polypropylene. Silk
rugs
feature a higher knot density,
meaning they have more knots
woven per square inch, thus
making them more luxurious and
less cost-effective. Chinese
carpets feature simple,
literal designs and classic
motifs. Generally found in
three design types; medallion,
one-sided or all over.
Medallion styles feature a
large centerpiece, a one-side
rug is just as it sounds and
there are all-over designs
that cover the entire piece.
Find a variety of nature
themes including flowers,
animals, clouds, trees, fish
and butterflies. Other common
themes include dragons that
represent power and authority
and a lotus that symbolizes
purity. China rugs
can
create an interesting
environment anywhere. They can
act as the anchor to any room
or work with other décor to

furnishings. Start shopping
