Antique Tibetan Door Rug
About the Item
An extremely rare example of Tibetan door rug, known with this term because the design mimics the same exact motifs present on the silk and cotton brocades which sometimes decorate the façades of traditional Tibetan houses. These brocades used to be woven in China probably since the Ming period if not earlier, although the present configuration relates to version woven during the Qing dynasty.
Door rugs are typically very finely knotted and employ a particularly silky quality of Himalayan wool, imparting a special luminescence to the pattern. This type of Tibetan weaving is very seldom seen as they were originally woven in a limited quantity and only as special commissions. The complete condition of this example makes it a perfect candidate for any great collection of antique oriental rugs.
