Tibetan Carpets

Tibetan carpets have existed for thousands of years but have got and international recognition only now that too by the efforts of certain NGOs. The patterns and sizes of Tibetan rugs is so versatile that they are as suitable for floor covering as for wall hangings or accent rugs, or for runners and throws.

The carpets are unique in their structure and design and even have developed separately from the traditional Persian carpets. The designs are influenced by the Tibetan tribal culture, Buddhism and Chinese culture to an extent. The designs are simple yet beautiful complementing the contemporary scenario.

Wool is obtained from the sheep and other animals bred by the tribes. The fleece of such local herds is long and lustrous giving a good quality yarn. The knotting style is different from the Persian and Turkish. Different knotting and wool quality gives a rich look to the carpets and a unique one too.
