Back
Beautiful Wangden warp-faced-back seating carpet from southern Tibet with thick pile and all natural red, green and light blue dyes with lovely abrash in the pile. The red main field design is a simplified ‘running dog’ motif border encircling two squares which each then encase a single red ‘knot’. Made in the later part of the 1800’s / 19 c., it has yak hair warp and weft and the size is 105cm x 87cm (approximately 41in x 34in) The red border shows a change of shade at one end but there is no reweaving to be seen on the back, so unsure if this has simply been caused by the use of a different dye bath (high resolution images available to the prospective buyer to make his/her own assessment). It is in very good condition. See more photos here; https://warpandweft.club/portfolio-item/wangdens-item-6/
