Chinese Oriental Rugs

My favorite rugs are no doubt Oriental rugs simply because of the sheer beauty they demonstrate. They exude beauty and I love them. Are they really from the Orient? Some of them are and some of them are not, they just fall under the name of Oriental rugs.

A genuine Oriental rug is one that is hand woven. A lot of the rugs out there are made by the machines that were invented to replicate the real thing. There is nothing wrong with that but we all know there is nothing like the genuine article.

The way you can recognize a Chinese Oriental rug is by the images on the rug itself. The Chinese style rugs are all hand woven and influenced by several religions that influenced China such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The images on the rugs are indicative of the Chinese culture.

There are many different styles of these Chinese rugs and several time lines are associated with them. But what do the Chinese Oriental rugs feel like under your feet?

These rugs have more of a modern flavor and feel awesome under your bare feet. You actually feel like you will sink into the carpet. They have a deep thick and luxurious soft pile and you have not walked on a cloud until you have walked on one of these.

The designs on the rugs are exquisite, ranging from exotic flowers to koi fish to dragons. They are really quite beautiful and unique at the same time. They also come in different sizes and shapes so you will be able to find just the right ones for your home.

Your family and friends will truly be impressed when the see the Chinese Oriental rugs that adorn your home and be appreciative of the sophistication and the color that they bring.
