Traditional Chinese Area Rugs and carpets are immediately recognizable by their simple, classic motifs and unusual colors. Unlike most oriental rugs, Chinese designs are very literal rather than decorative; most motifs have very exact meanings. Unlike Persian Rugs, the motifs on Chinese area rugs do not unite in order to create one design; they stand alone. These rugs will stand out in your home.
Traditional Chinese Area Rugs often feature a center, circular medallion; familiar objects seen in nature such as animals, flowers, and clouds; stylized Chinese ideographs; and even entire scenes.
They’re usually framed with a simple, wide border and many display contrasting colors that meet to provide interest and texture to the simple patterns.
Chinese Area Rugs are extremely durable.
