Tibetan Pile Rug
During the weaving process, the craftsmen utilize the knife tool to cut yarn looped around the iron rod, which is a tool unique to Tibetan weavers. The iron rod allows the area rug to have a ridge-like surface, which is a distinctive trait of Tibetan carpets. Tibetan rugs can be very "cozy" when you walk on it. This is our own production piece from Nepal, done by Tibetan refugees, with design of oldest known carpet in history "Pazyryk".

The precision of their double knots (Turkish or Ghiordes knots), which allows the clear display of patterns, together with the colour combinations and the harmonious patterns have made them highly collectible.
