About the Item

Collectible and rare Tibetan saddle cover featuring two charming tigers surrounded by a border of beautiful dragons. This handmade saddle was probably used by an aristocrat or person of status in Tibet. It has beautiful vegetable dyes although there may be some very early synthetic color as well. This is a highly rare collectible piece. This piece comes from Joseph Carini's personal collection. Throughout his travels around the world, Carini has curated a collection of fine and rare vintage textiles and rugs. He is enamored by ancient techniques, natural dyes, and cultural symbology. Carini’s design philosophy is heavily influenced by historical contexts and nature, merging his graphic and organic design interests with his considerable knowledge of decorative arts, architecture, and industrial design history. His expertise in exotic natural dyes and hand-processed materials has become a cornerstone of his work. Joseph Carini is known for his innovative approach, constantly experimenting with design concepts and natural materials. He works closely with designers and clients, offering his expertise to help realize their visions while ensuring practical and aesthetic success. His emphasis on quality and longevity means that each carpet is crafted to last a lifetime, using the most environmentally friendly dyes and processes. Since founding Carini in 1997, Joseph Carini has worked with diverse clients, from A-list celebrities to high-end projects. His creations appeal to design aficionados and art collectors who value unique, authentic pieces. Carini’s rugs are more than just decorative items; they are canvases imbued with intention, positive energy, and a soul that brings warmth and life to any space.
