While not as famous as other types of Oriental rugs, Tibetan carpets still dazzle with their stunning designs and high quality of the weave. Handmade Tibetan carpets and other woven goods have a long history. What first started off as a practical craft, became an art few could match. For centuries Tibetan rugs served as basic furnishings, places of prayer, and the most basic means to keep one’s household warm during harsh winters. Compared to other Oriental carpets, Tibetan rugs are made using local techniques, passed on from generation to generation since times immemorial. As a result, Tibetan rugs sport patterns and motifs that you won’t be able to find elsewhere. This stunning Tibetan rug is a perfect mix of elegance and simplicity. Woven with great care, using only the highest quality silk, this contemporary rug is a perfect choice for those who yearn for something exotic yet comfortingly familiar. Its all-over pattern features an arabesque abstract design composed of straight lines that twist and turn creating a complex labyrinth. Thanks to the use of natural silk, the rug’s pile has a delicate sheen to it, making it appear even more appealing. The color palette accompanying this contemporary rug contains mostly shades of gray, which are brought together to create a toned-down yet spectacular composition. Our antique rugs and contemporary carpets are among the most luxurious goods you will ever be able to find.
