Modern Tibetan “Tiger” Wool Rug N12701 2'0" × 3'0" $950

An arresting homage to traditional Himalayan design, this modern Tibetan rug channels the spirit of antique tiger carpets through a bold, abstract reinterpretation. Hand-knotted in Tibet from high-quality wool, the piece exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship and cultural legacy of the region’s weaving traditions.

The rug’s surface is animated by a dynamic tiger-stripe motif, rendered in deep black against an ombré ground that shifts from warm camel to earthy rust tones. This dual-toned background creates a compelling visual split, with one half evoking the natural beige of Himalayan wool, and the other infused with a rich, reddish-brown hue that adds contemporary warmth and contrast.

The black stripes themselves are executed with a loose, gestural rhythm, echoing the sinuous curves and irregularity of hand-drawn brushstrokes. This fluid, asymmetrical arrangement infuses the piece with movement and energy, while the restrained palette maintains a sophisticated neutrality.

Soft underfoot and visually powerful, this rug bridges the gap between timeless symbolism and modern minimalism, making it an ideal statement for contemporary interiors seeking depth, texture, and a nod to artisanal heritage.
