Presumably in September of 2009 we will receive our latest order of 20 traditional Tibetan rugs from Nepal. This order consist exclusively of tiger designs. We have just received photographs of the pieces already finished. They are beautiful, and of course all hand-made and in traditional, old designs as you can find them in the book "Tiger Rugs of Tibet" by Mimi Lipton - literature reference see below.
The images on this page are link-sensitive and take you to other articles or web sites in which you might be interested.
We have offered Tibetan rugs exclusively in traditional sizes of ca. 3 by 6 feet = ca. 90 by 180 cm and in traditional Tibetan designs since 2008. In our EDUTAINMENT section you find a large number of articles about our Tibetan rugs. Please see our directory for articles about Tibetan rugs.
A good start for reading is for instance Traditional Tibetan Carpets or Tibetan Carpets from Nepal or read my personal travel report from Kathmandu from 2008 Back to Kathmandu.
And for an exhaustive article about the genre of tiger rugs, you can read Tibetan Tiger Rugs.
And last but not least, we offer you a video from Nepal titled Rugs from Nepal and a few self-made videos on Videos about Tibetan Rugs.
Here is a preview on our next shipment. The photographs were taken in Nepal. By the time we will have the rugs with us, we will of course take new images in our studio. This page is not meant to sell but to water your mouth. Please support our project in Nepal to preserve this old art and craft by bidding in our auctions of Tibetan rugs.
