Carpet Beijing (beijing) China 188 X 122 Cm

Chinese wool rug, cotton warp and weft, circa 1980. Very good condition. Strong and durable mat. Beautiful achievement.

In the 1980s, a new production in the Beijing workshops was inspired by Persian rugs. The appellation was "Hankung". These rugs were made with excellent quality wool and tight knotting. The aim was to compete with Oriental rugs by imposing themselves on Western markets.

This dozar-size rug is inspired by academic Iranian rug designs. The central medallion as well as the field are reminiscent of an ispahan as for the main sky blue border, of a kerman lavar. It is sporadic to find 'Hankung', because to our knowledge the production has ceased.
