19th C. Tibetan Rug - 3’7” x 2’2”
#2513 Tibetan Rug
3’-7” x 2’-2”
AGE & ORIGIN:
Late 19th C.
Tibet
OVERVIEW:
There are a few weavings typical to Tibet, mostly limited to mats and small rugs. The areas of remaining pile are incredibly soft and plush, typical of many Tibetan weavings. The use of negative space of the white field on the eight pointed blue stars as well as magenta accents are overall very pretty and are indicative of character that many of these pieces have lost in more contemporary weavings.
CONDITION:
There is end loss which has been folded over and a piece of fabric has been sewn to the back, potentially as a form of preservation. Given the condition and fabric already attached to the back, this piece may serve better as a wall object for decor or even as an oversized pillow rather than a rug.
