Differences in weave pattern
It follows in all of the instances mentioned above, that to know the source of the
design of a rug is not at all the same thing as identifying the place where the rug
was made, or the people who made it. The only way the correct parentage of
these Chinese rugs can be established is by reference to the weave pattern and materials
used. It really is a remarkable fact that, in spite of national and tribal wars,
migrations and commercial interaction, methods of Art Deco Chinese rug construction used by
different groups changed relatively little over long periods of time.
The differences in the weave patterns of the various types of rug are often
easily recognized, but sometimes they are so subtle that they will not be apparent
to anybody who has not paid considerable attention to them. They exist,
however, and have existed for many generations. This may seem surprising
when one considers the simplicity of the craft, and even more surprising that
such basically simple techniques do result in at least sixty identifiable differences
and can result in far more, as Dilley (1959) pointed out: 'In reality, there is
a possible total of some ten thousand different effects, as a little computation
will prove.
