Carpet ID CCD1159668
Knot density approx 90 000 knots per m²

You can easily calculate the knot density yourself by counting the number of knots 1 cm down and 1 cm across, and then multiplying these numbers together. Then multiply the total by 10,000 to give the number of knots per m².

Some carpet sellers exaggerate the knot density, so to be sure that you are comparing like for like when it comes to price, it is worth checking the knot density yourself. Most of CarpetVista’s carpets have a photograph of the reverse with a ruler, making it easy to examine the knot quality and count the exact knot density before choosing your carpet.

Pile Wool
Wool is a natural textile fibre and one of the most sought after materials for rug making. Wool rugs are highly durable and perfectly capable of resisting wear and tear of every day use. Wool has a naturally dirt-repelling effect and is easy to keep clean. It is also flame resistant and characteristically retains it’s shape so that the pile of the rug always rises.

Pechino Antique Rug carpet from China.

Antique Pechino rugs, woven in the heart of Beijing since the mid-19th century, stand as
a remarkable testament to the rich history and intricate artistry of Chinese textile
craftsmanship. These rugs are not merely decorative items; they are cultural artifacts
that encapsulate the spirit and aesthetic values of their time.
The design of antique Pechino rugs is often characterized by complex patterns that
draw heavily from Chinese artistic traditions. Intricate motifs—such as stylized flowers,
butterflies, and mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes—are meticulously
woven into the fabric, creating a narrative that reflects the natural world and spiritual
beliefs of Chinese culture. The attention to detail is profound; artisans employ
techniques that allow for a rich depth of color and texture, drawing the viewer into a
mesmerizing visual experience.
Color plays a vital role in the beauty of Pechino rugs. The palettes are typically rich and
bold, utilizing deep reds, vibrant blues, and lustrous golds. These colors are often
derived from natural dyes, lending the rugs a depth and richness that enhances their
intricate designs. The use of color is not just for decoration; each hue carries symbolic
significance, evoking emotions and cultural meanings that resonate throughout
Chinese history.
Historically, the production of Pechino rugs began to flourish in the wake of World War
I, when weaving factories migrated to Beijing from other regions, such as Ningxia. This
migration marked a significant shift in the rug-making landscape of China, allowing
artisans to produce larger rugs that catered to an expanding market in both America
and Europe. During this period, the influence of Western design sensibilities began to
blend with traditional motifs, resulting in rugs that reflect a unique synthesis of East and
West.
The techniques used in creating these rugs are deeply rooted in history. Hand-knotted
with precision, each rug involves a meticulous process that can take months or even
years to complete. The craftsmanship is evident in the texture, as high-quality wool and
sometimes silk are employed to create a plush pile that invites touch. The weavers
utilize various knotting techniques, combining Turkish and Persian styles to enhance
the durability and aesthetic appeal of the final piece.
Despite their roots in tradition, antique Pechino rugs have evolved over time. While
many retain the ornate designs of earlier periods, others feature simplified patterns that
align with modern aesthetics, reflecting the changing tastes of consumers. This
evolution speaks to the adaptability of the artisans, who have preserved their heritage
while responding to new artistic trends.
As objects of beauty and cultural significance, antique Pechino rugs invite viewers to
appreciate not just their aesthetic qualities but also the history and stories they carry.
Each piece is a silent witness to the lives and craftsmanship of the weavers, embodying
the rich tapestry of Chinese culture. The elegance and artistry of these rugs make them
cherished additions to any space, where they continue to inspire admiration and a
sense of connection to the artistry of the past.

Excellent Service and Products

I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
