A Chinese Tibetan Wool on Cotton Rug, 19th Century.
Approximately 158 x 90cm
This image shows a Chinese Tibetan wool on cotton rug from the 19th century, a piece likely made by Tibetan artisans using traditional weaving techniques. The rug features a simple yet striking design with repeated small, yellow wave-like motifs across the field, set against a deep maroon or brown background. These minimalistic designs are typical of Tibetan rugs, which often focus on symbolic elements rather than overly complex patterns.
Tibetan rugs were traditionally used for various purposes, including as seat covers, bed coverings, or meditation mats, and were often part of daily life in Tibetan homes and monasteries. The simple wave motifs may symbolize elements of nature, such as water or clouds, and are in keeping with Tibetan artistic traditions that often draw inspiration from the natural world and Buddhist symbolism.
