This Dragon carpet is from the 1850's in unusually emphatic colors. The red appears at first glance to be an aniline dye, but there is no evidence of color run or sun damage. It is good overall condition.

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.
