　　Distinctive Quality

　　　　Made from the wool of Tibetan sheep in Qinghai, these carpets are finely crafted, featuring durability, resilience, soft texture, and a bright sheen. They also become glossier with age.

　　Cultural Background

　　　　Qinghai has a long history of carpet production and is one of the earliest regions in China to produce carpets. According to "Textile Anecdotes," an "8" loop wool carpet fragment unearthed at an ancient architectural site in Dulan County, Qinghai Province, dates back four to five thousand years. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the weaving technique for pile carpets had already spread in the Qinghai Lake region.
