Tibetan rug Tiger 8 x 5.7 ft silk blue wool gold hand-knotted

Exclusive Tibetan rug, hand-knotted from wool and real silk.
Tiger rugs are an important part of Tibetan culture. For centuries they have been used in monasteries and palaces to sit on and cover columns. The tiger symbolizes the power, strength and power of the ruler. Often these were also used as a seat for llamas to meditate.

Our collection of high quality Tibet Tiger rugs is made in Nepal, Kathmandu by excellent artisans. In order to get as close as possible to the look of the ancient originals, we specifically looked for old women in small villages who can still master the art of hand spinning. This has not been common practice in the rug industry in Nepal for a number of years. Hand spinning gives the wool a certain irregularity in the yarn thickness, which is what gives this rug its special look.

In this piece, the finest matka silk from China was combined with Tibetan highland wool. The blue motifs consist of 90% silk and 10% wool. The gold-colored background consists of 60% wool and 40% silk. The different yarns were spun together in order to achieve the incomparable appearance of these carpets.

The touch is soft and cozy thanks to the use of the finest materials. The carpet is approx. 1/2 inch / 12 mm high.
