So the fears were transformed into such kind of art.Tibetan rug wool knotting technique is the base of tiger rug. If you feel the real rural tiger rugs, you'll find it coarse. The main Oriental rug production areas were urban Shigatse and Lhasa centres. The antique Tibetan Tiger rugs differentiate from modern one by its color and shadings.The first one has natural beige,saffron-orange or blues while the modern one has more green or blue tones.
