Request a home visit, purchase online or book in a showroom visit, we would love to show you these modern Tiger rugs up close.  They are available in varying colours, so please make contact if there is a specific colour you are after.

Tibetan tiger rugs are as culturally fascinating, and as poignantly elusive now as the tigers themselves. In the early 19th century woven tiger rugs became the substitute for the increasingly scarce Indian tiger pelts. The small number produced remained within the monasteries, and unlike other works of Tibetan art appeared outside Tibet only in 1976, when an example was taken to the USA.

We have been helping clients and interior designers since 1990, travelling all over the UK showing our unique collection of carpets, rugs and runners in situ.  As members of the British Antique Dealers Association (BADA) and (LAPADA) The Association of Art and Antique Dealers, we are very proud of these memberships and status, upholding the values needed to be part of both antique associations in the UK.
