They are good at weaving dense carpets with silk threads, and they also use gold and silver threads to weave gorgeous gold silk carpets.

The gold used in the gold silk carpet is 98 treasury gold, the purity is quite high, and the color of the gold is full and soft, which can perfectly set off the pattern. The outer gold is 74 large red gold, which is light and bright in color, forming bright spots around the carpet surface, making the whole carpet look very spiritual.

It has both royal style and folk charm, giving people endless aftertaste and reverie.

According to the unearthed cultural relics in the bronze, pottery, lacquerware, silk fabrics, grotto sculptures, ancient bricks and tiles and other artistic decorative patterns, the designer innovatively designed a novel, simple and elegant "antique" series of patterns.

According to Western architecture, art sculpture, palace interiors and other patterns, the innovative design has a Western-style "palace-style" series of patterns, according to a large number of ancient and modern Chinese brocade pattern data, the innovative design of the artistic exaggerated flowers and curly leaf grass as the theme, interspersed with changes, constitute a rhythmic "brocade" series of patterns, according to the characteristics and requirements of modern life, innovative design of elegant and chic, beautiful colors of the "modern" series of patterns.
