Further details

The reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) was a period of great achievement for all the arts, and carpets woven during this period are celebrated for their harmony and proportion both in coloration and size. Woven for both the Imperial court and nobility, Qing dynasty rugs and carpets were often made for a specific place or function. Based on its proportions, the present carpet was most likely made as a daybed cover that would have been typically reserved for an important guest.
