Its design draws on the soul of daring pictorial folk art, showcasing a saturated field of warm orange and peach tones that dramatically hosts spontaneous, multi-colored motifs.

The piece features a unique, stylized form that implies the tiger's powerful presence, creating a dynamic, highly artistic foundation.


On the Design:

This rug is a truly captivating piece of visual artistry, a playful yet sophisticated abstract tribal narrative that pulses with color and energy.

It is a particularly colorful piece, among our more unexpected, modern interpretations of these tiger rugs, but with a boldness and vibrant beauty that speaks to the soul of this very daring, historic style of pictorials and folk art.

The primary ground tone is a warm orange with peach tones, keeping with the original inspiration.

Across this expressive field, the design uses repeating rows of abstract, oblong shapes outlined in black, each filled with a different flicker of color: deep teal, olive green, sunshine yellow, and faded blue.

At the center top, a large, stylized tiger head is delicately sketched in black, presiding over the vibrant geometry below.

Admirers of the craft will note the less traditional drawing in this particular tiger-skin rug design, where the head remains prominent while the body is more implied—a playful departure that allows one to better appreciate the movement and sense of life this piece enjoys.

Few tiger-skin rugs enjoy such a range of colors. The linen content lends the piece a low-luster, grounded quality that beautifully balances the high-frequency color palette, making the piece feel both modern and deeply rooted in folk tradition.

It offers a bold, energetic, and highly artistic foundation. See less
