{"product_id":"hand-tufted-wool-tiger-head-rug-30cm","title":"Indian Hand Tufted Wool Tiger Head Rug, 30 x 30 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small tiger head in hand tufted wool, cut to shape and about 30 cm across. The face is worked in gold, mustard and brown with bold black stripes, framed by an ivory outline that follows the ears and cheeks. Blue eyes and a small pink heart for a nose give it a friendly, slightly cheeky expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand tufting is a different craft from hand knotting. The wool is pushed through a base fabric by hand with a tufting tool, then the back is finished and the shaped edge is bound. It is quicker than knotting, which is why a piece like this sits at a modest price, but it is still made by hand in India rather than on a machine. Look closely and you will see the small irregularities of hand work in the stripes and outline. The few grey flecks in the pile are part of the wool yarn itself, a natural character of the yarn, not marks or wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this size it is an accent rather than a floor covering. It sits well beside a bed, in a child's room or reading corner, on a bench, or hung on a wall. Unlike most of our carpets, the tiger heads are made in small numbers, so we usually hold more than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn your home:\u003c\/strong\u003e A playful accent for children's rooms, reading corners, entrances and studios.
