China has produced hand-knotted rugs for thousands of years.
There are reports of rugs being woven in north-central China, in
the area around Ningxia, as early as 1696. However, there was
never a real rug industry until the 1860’s when workshops were
set up near Beijing and rugs were commissioned by the imperial
court.
