Since the war there have been very few Chinese rugs coming into America. The reason for this was because most of the looms and machinery were destroyed. There were limited amounts of Chinese rugs that made it to New York after the war. These were mostly the 9 x 12 foot size.  These were mostly plain with no designs and colors were mainly cream, apricot, green and a few in plain blue.  An estimated amount of 500 total came over here to the United States after the war. There can not be more than 50 on the market today. That’s just a little tip about history on rugs. See a variety of area carpet rugs.

When the rugs get old they can increase in value or they can become rags and need to be thrown out or given to the homeless if there is still some life left in your rug.  Take a look around and see what makes sense and what you can do to spring clean and perhaps help out a friend in need.
