Description
Pao tao carpets are hand-knotted rugs from China with a long history.The tradition of hand-knotted rugs in China dates back thousands of years. The first written references to Chinese carpets appear in the Tang Dynasty (618–907), and historian Pan Ku (A.D. 32–92) mentions their production as early as the first century A.D.
Pao Tao carpets were originally knotted for the imperial court and their feature motifs were from porcelain paintings, such as dragons, birds, and floral patterns.Chinese carpets have always favoured the blue and white colour palette such as this Pao Tao carpet.
This Chinese carpet is in good condition with a good wool pile all over. Some old marks and minimal stains are visible, we have professionally washed this carpet and the majority of the old marks were removed. With only a few still visible. The background dye is an sandy biscuit tone and full of various blue shades. The central looking through a window design is delightful and the detail in the border and water scenes are very beautiful.

Walter Nichols, an American who set up factories in China made these rugs famous and desirable. With the most prolific weaving centre was in Tientsin, here designs tended to be more open and spacious than classical Chinese rugs. Walter Nichols rugs are usually wool and often used silk with a thick luxurious pile and feel. Mainly the designs included dragons, birds and exotic flowers as well as pictorial scenes, trees, clouds and mountains. The Art Deco Chinese rugs colours are usually very vivid and bold using rich dyes of yellow, turquoise, emerald, ruby and purple. Placed on the floor their look is elegant and full of character in the right room.
