Chinese carpets: Undoubtedly, China has a long tradition in carpet-manufacturing and the original carpets have a history of 2.000 years ago. In China, carpets were widely used at imperial courts and public places. However, the art of knotting carpets was introduced in the country somewhere around the 15th and 17th century. The patterns, as well as the colors, on some of the older Chinese carpets are often inspired by the art of porcelains. In some cases the patterns also show old religious symbols with stylized dragon shapes. Most of Chinese carpets have a characteristic thick and durable pile and their designs are placed in a way creating a three-dimensioned result.
