Oversized Contemporary Rug N11286 14'0" × 21'0" $42,500

This contemporary Tibetan rug is hand knotted in wool and silk, and features an all-over design of strategically spaced geometric abstractions and linear motifs in shades of light and dark beige, and white. The contemporary carpet Art Deco rug makes intriguing use of space to create an overall effect that is stark and minimalist, with a nod to European Deco traditions of the 20th century.

The simplicity and precision of the design of the Tibetan rug make it appealing as a piece of contemporary and modernist decor, while remaining rooted in the rich Tibetan and Nepalese geometric carpet weaving tradition. Tibetan and Nepalese oversized area rug making is an ancient, culturally specific craft that can be traced back to roughly the 17th century. Typically made from Tibetan highland sheep wool called ‘changpel,’ the finest Tibetan and Nepalese modern geometric rugs are hand-woven for a high quality, unique final product.
