Antique Tibetan Sleeping Rug | Early 20th Century A striking and elegant example of early 20th-century Tibetan textile art, this sleeping rug features a deep, midnight-black field that provides a dramatic stage for a boldly rendered central peony—an enduring symbol of beauty, nobility, and spiritual growth. The flower’s large, stylized petals and scrolling foliage are drawn with artistic confidence, suggesting both movement and balance. Echoing the central motif, elongated floral forms with accompanying buds and leaves appear symmetrically at the top and bottom, creating a harmonious vertical axis that enhances the composition's meditative rhythm. The refined use of space, the bold yet controlled palette, and the symmetrical elegance all point to the hand of a master weaver—likely working in a distinguished atelier, possibly on commission for a prominent individual. This rug embodies both visual impact and cultural resonance, representing a superb fusion of decorative power and spiritual symbolism. It would make a prized addition to any serious collection of Himalayan or Central Asian textiles.
