This 19th-century Tibetan prayer carpet was hand tied with knots unique to the mountainous country. The yarn is made from wool gathered from sheep that graze in the highlands of Tibet, making it rich in lanolin for exceptional softness. The rug displays a complex, geometric design in earthy blues and yellows derived from vegetable dyes. Used for daily prayers, the rug may also have been used as a floor covering, wall hanging or saddle.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
