For centuries, tiger rugs were used in Tibetan \u003cstrong\u003emonasteries and palaces\u003c\/strong\u003e as seats for high lamas during meditation, as covers for ceremonial columns, and as honour places for rulers and teachers. The tiger itself symbolises power, protective strength and spiritual vigilance — the embodiment of the awakened mind in Vajrayana Buddhism. This large-format piece carries that symbolism into the heart of a contemporary living space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug is hand-knotted in the workshops of Kathmandu, Nepal, by experienced artisans in the \u003cstrong\u003eTibetan knotting tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e. We deliberately source \u003cstrong\u003ehand-spun yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e from highland women in small villages who still master the older spinning techniques — a practice that has all but disappeared from the wider Nepalese rug industry. The slight irregularity of hand-spun yarn gives the surface its characteristic depth: different fibres catch the light differently, producing the subtle, alive sheen that distinguishes a true Tibetan silk rug from a uniform machine-spun reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe field reads the Tibetan tiger as \u003cstrong\u003epure stripe pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a figurative animal: rows of stylised tiger stripes rendered as \u003cstrong\u003eperiwinkle-blue chevrons\u003c\/strong\u003e — a rhythmic wave-and-hook movement — set against a warm \u003cstrong\u003eamber, caramel-gold ground\u003c\/strong\u003e, framed all around by a \u003cstrong\u003esoft blue-grey border\u003c\/strong\u003e. The whole pile is knotted from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle plied yarn of Chinese Matka mulberry silk and Tibetan Changpai highland wool\u003c\/strong\u003e — roughly 66 % silk, 34 % wool carried evenly throughout. Because the same silk-rich yarn runs through both the blue stripes and the amber ground, the contrast is one of colour and light, not of material: the silk threads catch the light at shifting angles, so in daylight the blue reads cool and bright against the warm ground, while in evening light the amber deepens to gold. Pile height approximately 13 mm — substantial yet plush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e250 × 305 cm (7.6 m²)\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a true \u003cstrong\u003elarge-format statement rug\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Unlike perfectly uniform reeled silk, Matka retains a subtle unevenness that scatters light and gives the surface depth and a living sheen. It combines the brilliance of mulberry silk with a softer, more tactile hand — ideal for a rug that is meant to be walked on and lived with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;\"\u003eIs this format suitable as a main living-room rug?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 0;\"\u003eYes.

On smooth floors we recommend an anti-slip underlay. For thorough cleaning, only professional hand washing by a workshop experienced with silk constructions — no dry cleaning. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight over the years, as silk can lose colour intensity over time. Blot spills immediately with cold water and a light cotton cloth, never rub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eResponsible Sourcing · Label STEP\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDjoharian is a \u003cstrong\u003eLabel STEP certified dealer\u003c\/strong\u003e for fair-trade knotted rugs — a commitment to dignified working conditions and against child labour in rug production. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/label-step.org\/dealers\/djoharian-teppiche\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eVisit the Label STEP entry for Djoharian Teppiche →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eDjoharian — Since 1967\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1967, with roots in the Grand Carpet Bazaar of Tehran and more than five decades of experience in the international rug trade.
