Coulours may appear different on the website than in reality. All mentioned prices and sizes are indicative and not binding. Possibly some rugs that are still online, are not available anymore in the showroom.

Unlike most Turcs or Iranians, the Tibetans did not so much use their rugs as a floor or wall coverings, but used them as bench cover or meditation mat. The Tibetan wool is very appropriate for rugs: strong, flexible and shiny. Men or women spin the wool either on their thigh or on a spinning top.

The pile is knotted with a technique of loops winded around a rod.

Rugs for homely use were made on narrow looms without a wooden structure. Warps threads were fastened behind the weaver . Narrow stripes were produced and sewn together.
