Övrig information
Carpets were clearly highly prized as prestigious possessions: virtually all the portraits of the Ming and Qing emperors include depictions of carpets.
Carpets were used to define areas of importance, provide warmth and comfort and, through their motifs and decoration, create a harmonious aesthetic, which integrated their symbolism with the other Chinese works of art with which the royal household, their courtiers and officials surrounded themselves.
