Tibetan Rug Woven with Thick Lustrous Tibetan Wool, 19th Century

About the Item

Tibetan Rug Woven with Thick Lustrous Tibetan Wool, 19th Century Woven with thick lustrous Tibetan wool, this small Tibetan piece is a tactile delight. Stylistically, it is based on the design of older Ningxia carpets from northern China. The reciprocal border is a classic Ningxia variant from the eighteenth century and the pearl minor border, fret corner-pieces and garlanded medallions all derive from the corpus of Chinese design. Though attempting to replicate the subdued palette of Chinese pieces, it seems that the Tibetan weaver of this piece could not contain herself and has added an extra green and several hues of blue. Collection of William Hamilton Additional Information: Dimensions: 2'3" W x 3'11" L Origin: Tibet Period: 19th Century (4th Quarter) Rug ID: 16918

Mid-20th Century Handmade Tibetan Throw Rug
Located in New York, NY
A vintage Tibetan throw rug handmade during the mid-20th century. Measures: 3' 1" x 5' 8" Chinese Rugs & Carpet: The craft of the hand-knotted carpet in China, and the surrounding areas including Mongolia and Tibet, extends into the early centuries of the first millennium, C.E., but we really have a firm grasp only beginning in the later 16th century with large, very coarsely woven carpets, often depicting dragons, created for the Imperial Forbidden City palaces. Chinese carpets have always been commercial and there are no tribal groups responsible for any of the carpet weaving strains. When the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644, with no Imperial patrons, production moved to the city of Ningxia in north central China where several workshops turned out more finely woven pieces for the Mandarins of the administrative Ch’ing bureaucracy and well-to-do merchants. Ningxia was the major Chinese carpet center up through most of the 19th century, with first allover and then medallion designs on cotton foundations in medium weaves. Palettes were initially limited to yellows, dark blue and cream, but later widened to include reds, browns and even green. These antiques were the first Chinese carpets to be exported to the West and they fitted in well with the craze for Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the second half of the 19th century. Ningxia also wove shaped and rectangular small rugs for saddle underlays, chair (“throne”) seats and shaped backs, pillar carpets...
