Antique Tibetan Sleeping Rug | Early 20th Century This exceptional early 1900s Tibetan sleeping rug presents a rare confluence of aesthetic refinement and cultural symbolism. The off-white to cream-toned field offers a luminous ground from which a profusion of segmented roundels—each composed of finely articulated petals and foliage in a rich, varied palette—emerge with rhythmic balance and painterly finesse. The composition is anchored at the four corners by red bats, potent emblems of happiness and auspiciousness in Tibetan and broader East Asian symbology. These protective motifs not only enliven the design but underscore the rug’s ritualistic and benevolent intent. Woven in wool with a lustrous, aged patina, this piece exemplifies the meditative quality and artisanal mastery inherent in early Tibetan domestic textiles. A compelling addition for the discerning collector of Himalayan or Central Asian weavings.
