On the Design:

This Tibetan rug fragment prevails in brown tones with geometric floral patterns in navy blue tones. Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate this piece as a collectible—both as a work of culture and piece of the history of Asian craft alike, with a most unexpected, simple design for a Tibetan carpet of its period. Though a subtle piece of humble palette, keen eyes will further admire a great attention to detail in its sense of dimension, the play of earthy rich colors together, and such a creative use of a more limited palette is praiseworthy in any piece—all the more rare for this weaving tradition. It’s a rich and tastefully subdued piece, with a versatile small size and sensibility equally suited to wall-hanging projects as a tapestry as it is to flooring applications.

Condition:

This antique Tibetan rug fragment enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
