It is a gallery size rug that will make a statement in a formal dining room or any room of the home. It the perfect touch for any Asian-themed or Chinoiserie-style space.
Kansu province is located in Northwest China and was once an area through which the northern corridor of the Silk Road passed. This made it an important destination for trade and as a military outpost. Throughout its long history, Kansu became a center for the arts and remained so for many centuries. Rug weaving and textiles were one of its main industries.
Kansu is located between Tibet and the established rug centers of Ningxia. Many Kansu rugs, such as this one, show a mix of these two influences.
