All You Need To Know About Chinese Rugs
Some accounts talk about hand knotted Chinese rugs being made as early as 1696 in north central China, west of Beijing in the direction of Mongolia, in Ningxia Province. A Buddhist priest named Ho Chi-ching established the first Chinese rug making school in 1860 in Beijing. Unlike the majority of rugs from Turkey, the Caucasus, Persia, Central Asia and India, Chinese made rugs feature realistic flora and fauna as well as geometric designs.
Chinese style rugs before 1935 include Peking and Nichols & Fette. The Peking Rug was very powerful in portraying Chinese symbols and designs used for hundreds of years. The Nichols rugs were created in the early 20th century through the early 1930’s. The Nichols style was influenced by the Art Deco era. President Nixon opened Chinese trade in the mid 1970s.
Chinese area rugs are completely dissimilar to those of other countries.
Conjecture On The Earliest Existing Chinese Area Rugs
Over the years, there have often been exaggerated claims for rugs that are without doubt less than a hundred years old, and the dating of Chinese area rugs has long been controversial. You’ll find increasingly more sober designs until the rugs begin to show a progressively more outstanding use of a variety of brown shades as you go backwards to the early 19th century.
H.A. Lorentz remarked that “Chinese literature, so eloquent in other fields so far, is silent about them, their origin is obscure,” in his writing about supposed Chinese area rugs in 1972. Oriental rug volumes always describe a certain kind of rug as “Chinese.” There is little doubt that rug weaving in what we know nowadays to be China began with the steppe peoples, who, at different times, occupied regions of northern China.
