Most Tibetan rugs are being made in Nepal by Tibetan refugees, though we
do carry some stunning rugs made
in Tibet itself. The Tibetan/Nepalese rugs are knotted differently from other
types of oriental rugs and, as a result, the designs tend to be simpler, which
is appreciated by customers looking for a rug that is not "busy."
They are often made of handspun Tibetan wool and are thick and luxurious underfoot.
The designs range from stylized Persian or traditional Tibetan designs to
very contemporary designs and even absolutely plain rugs that still have the
wonderful texture and, in the case of the natural-dyed rugs, variations in
the color that can resemble a pool of water.
The Tibetan rugs are ideal for custom sizes or colors because they take less
time to make than the knotted rugs of other countries. It generally takes
four months from the time it's ordered to receive a custom-made Tibetan. (See
section on "Custom Rugs"
under "Store Info.")
