China’s tradition of rug making is one of the oldest in the world. It’s no coincidence that antique rugs from China are among the most valuable worldwide. Thanks to the exceptional quality and skill of Chinese weavers, antique rugs from the Middle Kingdom are highly sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts alike.
China’s craftsmanship has produced countless masterpieces—whether in vase painting, ceramics, or wood carving—few countries can look back on such a rich artistic heritage. Antique rugs are part of this legacy. Their hand-spun yarns ensure outstanding quality. They are often woven with fine warp threads combined with thick wool yarn, resulting in rugs that are dense, soft, and inviting to sit on. The patterns typically feature motifs rooted in Chinese culture—such as dragons or designs inspired by Buddhism.
