hereke carpet::Many mass producers in china use low grade silk and colors.
They are produced in single knot quality, which just defines that the persian knot is used.
These rugs are very light in weight, and feel more like a scarf.
Most rugs in this quality wear rather fast pricerange ca.
Top quality chinese rugs like the one in this post are made with high grade natural silk, very good and staple colors, 300l weave and double knot which means they usethe turkisk knot like the original.
The difference in price comes from the cost of labour.
In china many areas in the west are still not profiting from the boom in chinas economy.
There the price for labour is extremely low.
The production of herekes in china was actually a turkish idea.
One of the worlds largest dealer in chinese wool rugs was shefik tuerker.
He had his company in germany, his brother his in istanbul.
The importet turkish rugs to germany, later then persian and chinese.
Since the prices for hereke where rising extremely, it was only a question of time when someone had the idea of having them made somewhere else.
So they started joined ventures with chinese companies.
I would not give a squarefoot price for hereke, because they are to different.
The prices mentioned are for new and grade a rugs.
