Antique Tibetan Red and White Checkerboard Design Meditation Rug

About the Item

Checkerboard rugs are among the most sought-after antique Tibetan weavings. Their appeal lies in the simplicity and, at the same time, sophistication of the geometric pattern, which is typically rendered in two contrasting colours, although the are a few variations to the theme. This example is distinguished by the use of a rare lacquer red as well as by the presence of a simple border, separating the composition from the monochromatic frame. The rug is woven with very fine and glossy Himalayan highland wool, which imparts a sparkling quality to the colours.
