Chinese Rugs

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 highlight important furnishings.
