The invasion of the Mongols around the year \u003cb\u003e1279\u003c\/b\u003e, who not only carried Central Asian rugs with them, but also used them as tents and saddlery, boosted local production in China, which probably already existed at that time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in the year \u003cb\u003e 1903\u003c\/b\u003e sparked interest in Chinese rugs among the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were produced in China solely for export to Europe and North America. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered a special kind. The colors and patterns of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are more minimalistic than traditional Chinese rugs and have been adapted to the US-American style of furnishing of that time. Only a few pieces from the USA reached Europe. Therefore the so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are very rare in Europe. This antique US Import Chinese Rug is a collector's item. It is \u003cb\u003eabout 90 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and, therefore, a really special piece. Antique rugs like this US Import Chinese Rug are still very popular and are sold at top prices by renowned auction houses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The \u003cb\u003eembellished edging (border)\u003c\/b\u003e forms a excellent contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e In the middle of the central field of this US Import Chinese Rug is the symmetrical center, also called \u003cb\u003emedallion\u003c\/b\u003e. The design of the field is arranged in such a way that it gives the impression that the medallion is floating on the field.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The color scheme of this \u003cb\u003eChina rug\u003c\/b\u003e is artistic, despite its limitation to a few shades. The refined arrangement of decorative elements is particularly striking in the overall design. The proportions are spacious and appear modern due to the spaced-out arrangement. Typical motifs are dragons, vases, peonies on abstract leaves and tendrils. The motifs are often found in central or corner medallions. At the edges there are often geometrical representations, especially swastikas, which are interwoven. The motifs are similar to those on \u003cb\u003eChinese porcelain\u003c\/b\u003e, made during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Minimal technical variations in the production of classical Chinese rugs is a sign of \u003cb\u003estrict tradition\u003c\/b\u003e, which follows established rules. Despite the rather coarse execution, the pattern is executed with exceptional precision.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this US Import Chinese Rug is dark blue.  The border features yellow, light blue and dark blue. The light blue center combines the colors blue gray and light brown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou are not the first to appreciate this US Import Chinese Rug. It has had owners before you who have cherished and used it.  It was hand knotted about \u003cb\u003e 1930\u003c\/b\u003e. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it lovingly. Therefore it is in very good condition despite its age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe technique used to produce the materials of the pile of this US Import Chinese Rug is over 200 years old. The wool is dyed with \u003cb\u003enatural colors\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e spun by hand\u003c\/b\u003e. Dyeing with natural or vegetable dyes is more complicated, expensive and time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root per kilogram of wool as dye. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of the dye madder per kilogram of wool. Also spinning wool is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to hand spin wool.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: By dyeing with natural dyes, the high-quality wool retains its natural fat content. Wool dyed with \u003cb\u003enatural colors\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e spun by hand\u003c\/b\u003e creates fascinating, iridescent patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool with its slight irregularities and natural hues unfolds as a contrasting element in modern interiors, but also in rooms that are furnished in a more traditional or country house style. The weft and warp threads of this US Import Chinese Rug are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254985175133,"sku":"20059","price":1790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/8767-2_gesamt_c4922bc4-2a5b-4378-b0a8-d68bdedce139.jpg?v=1586909571","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/antiker-us-import-china-teppich-150-x-94-20059","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
