About the Item

A piece of the Tibetan plateau's challenging landscape and deep-rooted nomadic tradition: this hand-woven antique saddle rug, dating back to the late 19th century, is not just a decorative element but also a vibrant cultural heritage. This special rug boasts rich hues and authentic motifs that reflect the simple yet powerful aesthetic of Tibetan weaving. Saddle rugs are functional works of art, traditionally placed on a horse's back, serving both as a symbol of comfort and status. Its preservation for over a century attests to the rug's collectible value and durability. With its noble patina, this unique piece will add depth and a unique story to your space and create a striking focal point when displayed as wall art in any modern or classic interior.
