Ningsia carpets are among the oldest rugs from China. Since they were produced by royal workshops, they are of the highest quality. It is not surprising, then, that stylistically, they are formal, balanced and subdued. Colors are typically ivory, blues, and shades of yellow/saffron; dragons, legendary phoenix birds, Chinese dogs, and clouds in various patterns are common and beloved motifs in Ningsia rugs.
We are always happy to collaborate with you on a custom carpet that meets all your specifications...and your wildest dreams! Of course, it will be woven on our very own looms with the best materials under the supervision of our experts.

In recent times, the production of Contemporary Modern Carpets have experienced a Renaissance of sorts. The quality of their weave, wool, and design have not been as good since the early decades of the twentieth century. One of the unforeseen benefits of this new trend has been the revival of a particular genre of modern rug production that may be distinguished from the rest – the Modern or Contemporary design rug.
The roots of modern and contemporary rug design vary considerably. Drawing inspiration came from leading abstract painters of that period like Picasso, Klee, and Piet Mondrian, whose work could readily be translated into the medium of woven carpets. Early Scandinavian trends also contributed to this trend. Much of their influence can be traced back to the Art Deco Carpets of Europe, America and China.
Combined with cutting edge innovations from contemporary architectural and interior design and painting, rug buyers have developed a taste for the clean, abstract, simplicity of Modern Interior Decor. With Contemporary Modern carpets, you will find a plethora of unique patterns mixed with simplicity, that will blend well within traditional elements to any room. You can rest easy with knowing you are able to purchase quality rugs and carpets in this style, without having to compete for the limited supply of Modernist Vintage pieces, which are rapidly becoming costly antiquities.
As interior design trends shift from the plush rooms of the 1990’s and 2000’s, to the more modern, angular lines of today’s decor, carpeting has gone by the wayside in favor of hardwood or tile flooring. And while these spaces may be easier to clean, they can also leave the room feeling “cold” and sparse. Area rugs are the solution to this ever growing problem. Contemporary Modern area rugs add excitement, and can tie an entire room together. The challenge is deciding how to best accent your room with a rug that fits your personal sense of style.
