About the Item
A rare and beautifully preserved Tibetan saddle rug from the 19th century, measuring 93 × 75 cm. This piece is a striking example of Himalayan rug artistry, originally woven for equestrian use but now celebrated for its decorative and cultural value. Featuring a vibrant interplay of auspicious cloud motifs and floral medallions, the composition is framed by a deep indigo border enriched with delicate blossoms, a symbol of harmony and spiritual balance in Tibetan culture. The central panel, once designed to drape over a horse's saddle, adds an authentic touch with its original hand-stitched backing. Woven in soft wool with rich vegetal dyes, this rug exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and deep spiritual symbolism that define Tibetan weaving traditions. Its condition is excellent for its age, with vibrant colors and intact structure. A true collector’s piece, ideal as a wall hanging or curated accent in a luxury interior.
