Origin

Rugs were in all likelihood known in China very early on. The Mongol invasion around 1279, which brought Central Asian rugs into the country that were used as tents and saddle gear, gave a boost to the local production that probably already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in 1903 awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China solely for export to Europe and North America.

A special case is the so-called American China rugs, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours and patterns of the American China rugs are more restrained than those of traditional China rugs and were adapted to the US American interior style of the time. Only a very few pieces found their way from the USA to Europe. This is why the so-called American China rugs are especially rare in Europe.

This Old US Import China rug is around 96 years old and a true collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this Old US Import China rug was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and absorbs sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Old US Import China rug are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Old US Import China rug. It has had owners before you who treasured and used it. It was knotted around 1930. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partially restored, condition. In places this piece is brittle and worn down. We have not fully restored this Old US Import China rug because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course happily carry on restoring the rug for you. We can bring almost any rug back to a near-perfect condition.
