Tibetan Rugs

Antique Tibetan textiles are collected with high revere, and are woven in Nepal like this Small Antique Tibetan Rug. The wool is always hand spun, knotted and typically dyed with natural hued tones which comes from sheep in the highlands. Most Tibetan rugs follow closely to ancient traditions and customs, so you will notice colorfully simple tribal designs. A common small type of Tibetan rug is used for sleeping, sitting or Meditation. Tibetan carpets became widely popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s and was re awakened by a large amount of European commissions which in turn created jobs for Tibetan refugees in Nepal.
