What's the price of silk carpet?
Silk carpets we mean "hand knotted silk carpets", the total price may range from few thousands to few hundred thousands, it will be even higher if they are "made in Iran", may soar to seven digits price. There are also some collection grade silk carpets, which may "not" have a price. Today, I'd like to tell you how much a silk carpet costs.
There are many factors that determine the price of silk carpet, including material, quality, design, place of origin, production time and so on.
First of all, the producing areas of silk carpets in the world include China, India, Turkey and Iran. In the international market, if a silk carpet indicates the producing area, the price will be: Iran > = Turkey > India > China regardless of the quality. So why do dealers never tell consumers that the handmade silk carpets exported from China are made in China? They will say they are made in Iran, Turkey or even India, because if they are made in China, they will not be able to sell at a "higher price". Not because China's carpets are poor quarlity, but because there is a solidified cognition in the hearts of consumers, that is, "China does not produce carpets and China has no carpet culture". "Therefore, even if there is, China's carpets cannot be the best". In the west, China is famous for tea, silk and porcelain, never carpets. But in fact, the quality of silk carpets from China is very high.
