Tibetan 1744

This vintage Tibetan rug, dating to the early 1900s, showcases a striking combination of symbolic design and vibrant color. At its heart, three large-scale lotus flowers emerge from flowing vines, set against a deep black field that enhances the contrast of the soft French blue and red motifs. The lotus, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening, is gracefully paired with traditional Tibetan cloud symbols, imbuing the piece with cultural depth and meaning.

Surrounding the central field is a richly patterned border featuring an array of stylized floral motifs and multicolored geometric elements, all intricately hand-knotted in harmonious balance. The result is a visually compelling composition that bridges the ceremonial with the decorative.

Retained in excellent condition, this one-of-a-kind rug is a rare find for collectors of tribal, Asian, or Himalayan art, and a stunning addition to both traditional and eclectic interiors. A museum-worthy piece that celebrates Tibetan artistry through thoughtful symbolism and timeless craftsmanship.
