Our next shipment of traditional rugs from Nepal is expected for early autumn of 2009. We ordered two dozen carpets in traditional sizes of 90 by 180 cm = 3' by 6' and exclusively with old tiger designs. Here are latest photographs form our partner in Nepal showing how our order is currently in the making.

Tibetan Tiger Rugs

Tibetan tiger rugs have an old tradition among Tibetan rugs and are something special. Originally they were a privilege for high-ranking lamas and for the aristocracy.

You can find the essentials in an article that we published on the artelino web site some time ago about Tibetan Tiger Rugs.
