Mongolia

Filter

Mongolian rugs depict Chinese-influenced patterns, such as fretwork spandrels, endless knots, shou symbols, tigers and Buddhist motifs. They also have a preference for eastern design principles that use negative space effectively and incorporate a less-is-more style that works well in modern interiors. With a rich history dating back to the Mongol period in China, these carpets feature a transparent composition, utilizing see-through Oriental motifs against a uniform ground that exemplifies antique Chinese rug design. Depicting meanders, knot-work, and fretted medallions, with a taste for open spaces, these masterful carpets were believed to have been created by foreign minorities with outside influence of their surrounding culture.
