About the Item
Chinese carpet
Chinese silk carpets from the 1980s are often masterpieces of craftsmanship, characterized by their exceptional quality and attention to detail. During this period, the carpets were best known for their ornate patterns, bright colors and fine workmanship. They were mainly made of high-quality, pure silk. This material gave them an unparalleled shine and soft texture. The designs of such carpets often combined traditional Chinese motifs such as dragons and phoenixes, flowers and landscapes. These elements from nature had symbolic meanings. These patterns were implemented with exceptional precision and attention to detail. This made the carpets valued objects of art. Even though many of the designs had traditional roots, there was a growing demand at this time for styles that were based on the preferences of Western markets.
Production was time-consuming as the carpets were hand-knotted. Often, they featured a very high knot density, resulting in an extremely fine and durable structure. These carpets were not only decorative items, but also status symbols, as they reflected the wealth and taste of their owners. While these carpets were originally created for the local market in China, international demand increased in the 1980s. This was particularly true in Europe and the USA. Chinese silk carpets from this era are now highly valued by collectors and connoisseurs. They are considered representative pieces of the rich tradition of Chinese textile art.
