This page shows some images of the making of about 30 tiger rugs that we had commissioned and received in 2009 - in traditional sizes of 90 by 180 cm = 3' by 6' and exclusively with old tiger designs.
The photographs were made by our partner in Nepal.
Tibetan Tiger Rugs
Tibetan tiger rugs have an old tradition among Tibetan rugs and are something special. Originally they were a privilege for high-ranking lamas and for the aristocracy.
You can find the essentials in an article that we published some time ago about Tibetan Tiger Rugs.
