Hand-tufted rather than hand-knotted, this Nepali Tiger rug sits outside the classical carpet tradition but has an obvious appeal. Nepal has a long history of producing hand-tufted rugs for the export market, and the construction here is solid: pure wool on a cotton base, cut and shaped into a tiger silhouette with a multicolour pile.
The tiger format at 3 ft x 5 ft is well sized for a child's bedroom or play area, though it also works as a playful accent piece in a studio or informal sitting room. The wool pile is soft underfoot and durable enough for regular use in a family home. Hand-tufted pieces do not have the knot structure of a handknotted carpet and are not collector items in the same sense, but as a practical, well-made decorative rug with genuine craft behind it, this does the job comfortably.
In your home: Works in children's bedrooms, play areas, informal sitting rooms and studios. Pairs with natural timber floors and any room that can carry a playful accent.
