On a cold and frosty winter day, the perfect antidote to the chill is curling up on a rug, with a nice, thick blanket and a mug of hot chocolate, and if the rug of choice is a Tibetan rug, then the picture becomes absolutely perfect. This is simply because these rugs have a rich story to tell and this is evident from the amazing designs and liberal use of colours which go into making these rugs.
What is Special?
Why I recommend Tibetan rugs is because these rugs last for years and years, especially if you purchase them from a market leader like Doris Leslie Blau. Their store offers the most amazing, custom made Tibetan rugs which use a combination of wool and silk to make the rugs an exclusive purchase.
The Tibetan rugs offered by them are hand made and hand dyed and come all the way to New York from the Himalayas – they are made by expert craftsmen in Nepal. What is special about them is that they are made according to the old ways. Yep, that’s right, rug making or carpet weaving is an ancient Tibetan art form and the craftsmen who weave for Doris Leslie Blau keep the ancient practices alive. It is a skill handed down to them through generations.
Even without the use of machines, these rugs show great symmetry and precision which is an absolutely astounding feat. The weavers make these rugs with both loop and cut piles and they are masterpieces in their own right. A lot of my friends have Tibetan rugs adorning their homes (thanks to me!) and trust me; these rugs change the very character of their homes.
One can order these rugs from exclusive stores, like the one I mentioned, choosing yarns, designs and even colours to suit your taste. These designs can range from ancient to modern, depending on the theme you choose to go with.
Protecting Mother Nature
The best part about Tibetan rugs is that stores like Doris Leslie Blau make sure that the rugs they sell and fashioned in a totally eco friendly manner. After all, you wouldn’t want to be enhancing the size of your carbon footprint in order to decorate your home, now would you? Not only are the rugs created in a manner which is eco friendly, they are also made in a socially responsible manner.
The finished rugs are hand washed and softened and clean ground water is used for this purpose. This ensures that the natural hardy nature of Tibetan wool is preserved in the carpet making process. Then, in order to ensure that pollution levels are minimized, the waste water is de-toxified and treated and then released. Moreover, labourers are given fair pay for their work along with child care and medical facilities, now isn’t that something?
So, if you’re buying a Tibetan rug from Doris Leslie Blau, you are indirectly doing social service and who wouldn’t want to do that?
