Try Carpetstan - cheapest place i've seen for rugs of good quality

I'm guessing though that you'll pay over 4000 for that size

Do you want a cheap rug (not silk)? Go to Ikea.
Do you want a quality rug for a reasonable price? Go to Arab Street in Singapore.
Do you want a Chinese silk rug that's overpriced? Go to Yu Gardens. Building on south end, 2nd floor.

Torana House has beautiful rugs but they are not silk. And they are expensive.

On the other end of the price spectrum I've seen a small shop on the south side of Jingling Rd, east of t¡bet Rd that sells really inexpensive carpets. Not silk though. Sorry to say but I have yet to find anything in Shanghai that's a bargin.

In 2008 I bought the following rugs in Singapore on Arab Street. None were silk, all wool on cotton.
1. One 185cm diameter round rug, main color is black, cost 500 Singapore Dollars
2. One 195cm x 64cm rectanglar rug (runner), rust & cream color, cost 200 Singapore Dollars
3. One 152cm x 56cm rectanglar rug (runner), red color with medallion, cost 200 Singapore
Dollars
4. One 311cm x 256cm rectanglar rug, rust & cream color, cost 650 Singapore Dollars

Good luck, I hope others have some local suggestions for you.

Is that 4000 RMB? ~ 800 SGD ~ 600 USD
Not out of line, depends on the quality.

Hi Angela

Somebody with the same name as you just posted this on Enjoy Classifieds

Either 'Angela' is a really common name among the Zhans in Shanghai or you didn't take your medication today.

Oh BTW

I'm not in anyway connected to carpetstan - but if they want to give me discount for the free advertising - they can PM me

Cheers

I know three Angelas ,one is in America,two in Shanghai.

Angela, if you are trying to bring in business why don't you post some really specific information; like a link to a rug on your website and it's COST. I suspect most expats are tired of going out to look at a product and being quoted ridiculously high prices.

I bought two pieces of handmade pure silk rugs from East Carpet Company.One is common quality in 300 lines.The other one is higher quality in 500 lines.Both of them are 6*9 feet.I got a very good price there.The staff work there are very helpful too.

Is your rug silk or not?You can ask them for more information about silk rugs.I like the photos hanging on the wall in their showroom.

ABigPotato, how much did you pay for your rugs?
