此件地毯，为乾隆年间兴远寺为敬献于宫廷而编织的，全手工编织，采用顶级羊毛和金线制作而成，工艺细致动人，色彩自然，其手感柔和、弹性好、质地厚实。编织精美的八仙福禄寿人物贺寿图，人物开脸生动、细致，神态灵动传神，着色到位。八仙和福禄寿并列一排，脚踏祥云，各持法宝及贺礼，笑逐颜开，场面热闹，喜气十足。此件群仙祝寿地毯生动的反映了群仙怡然自得的神态，人物造型比例适当，神态各异，色彩丰富而华丽，且寓意吉祥如意，雅俗共赏，带钤印，款识“兴远寺，敬献，乾隆四年，十一月初九日”。经历百年时间仍然保存完好，色泽未退，具有较强的装饰性和欣赏性，精美皇宫御用地毯。
宫毯品种中有一种叫盘金丝毯，属于清朝皇宫专用的品种之一，因其工艺复杂，材料昂贵，现已不多见。盘金丝毯多出自新疆的维族工匠手中，他们技艺高超，善用丝线编织出密度很高的地毯。盘金丝毯所用的金银线成为“金箔线”、“银箔线”，是在丝线或棉线上包裹金箔和银箔搓捻而成的。这种线用到宫毯上会呈现出金光闪闪的光泽，富丽堂皇、高贵大方。
