AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This authentic Tibetan hand-knotted rug from the first half of the 20th century is a particularly decorative and characterful piece. With its generous dimensions of 185 × 89 cm, it is ideal as a runner, wall tapestry, or eye-catcher in an interior with a love for history and craftsmanship.

The carpet is crafted in a warm, harmonious color palette of off-white, deep red, indigo, ochre, and earthy tones. The field is richly decorated with traditional Tibetan symbolism, including stylized figures, riders, and geometric motifs, which refer to protection, strength, and spiritual meaning. The wide, contrasting border enhances the graphic character and gives the whole piece a stately appearance.

Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the rug feels firm and full, with a beautiful, even pile. The natural dyes have developed a soft patina over the years, giving the rug extra depth and authenticity. The fringes are original and emphasize the handmade finish.
This is not an ordinary rug, but a collectible piece with a clear cultural identity and a timeless look.

Perfect for lovers of antique Asian carpets, bohemian or eclectic interiors, or as a unique statement piece in a modern décor.
