About the Item

Tibetan Tiger – A Hand-Knotted Silk & Wool Masterpiece, 17th Century Modern The Tibetan Tiger Rug by Knots Rugs is a Limited Edition design from the 17th Century Modern Collection, blending traditional oriental rug craftsmanship with contemporary tattoo artistry. This hand-knotted silk and wool rug, crafted in Jaipur, India, pays homage to historic Tibetan tiger motifs, reimagined through a modern aesthetic. Renowned for its symbolic strength and protective power, the Tibetan tiger has long been a sacred motif in Buddhist culture and Tibetan textiles. Knots Rugs has elevated this tradition by overlaying intricate tattoo-inspired patterns onto the classic rug composition, resulting in a bold yet sophisticated statement piece. Finished with an oxidization technique, the wool beneath the silk is selectively aged, creating a stunning 3D relief effect that enhances the rug’s depth and textural contrast. The interplay of silken highlights against a timeworn wool foundation adds an antique patina, making it an extraordinary blend of history, craftsmanship, and avant-garde design. Woven using an 11/11 Persian knot technique, this rug embodies exceptional detail, durability, and luxury, making it an ideal collector’s piece for those seeking a fusion of heritage and contemporary artistry. Details: Hand-knotted Silk & Oxidised Wool – Superior craftsmanship and durability Limited Edition – A reimagined Tibetan tiger motif with modern tattoo influences Oxidised finish – Creates a unique 3D relief effect with antique patina Crafted using 11/11 Persian knot technique – High-density weave for intricate detailing Designed in Jaipur, India – A nod to the heritage of Eastern textile artistry A true statement rug, the Tibetan Tiger is a powerful blend of symbolism, heritage, and innovation,
