Tibetan art encompasses a wide range of principles that embody a spiritual approach to artistic expression and its rug making practices are no different. A diverse range of motifs and designs are added to these intricate artworks that showcase the nation’s rich culture profound religious beliefs that encapsulate Tibetan Buddhism teachings.
Tibetan rugs can also be vehicles for visual storytelling and sometimes feature symbolic creatures of legend. While often inspired by the divine, these rugs can have a variety of applications from practical floor coverings to decorative wall hangings. Those lucky enough to own these rugs as prized possession must ensure they are cared for correctly to ensure they can be enjoyed for years to come. Specialists in Tibetan rug cleaning can help owners keep their rugs in optimum condition with sensitive but effective methods.
Traditional Tibetan weavers can be found operating in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal and in India. There skills are the foundation of a thriving rug making business producing popular designs including the ever-trendy Khaden sleeping rug.
Designs displayed on Tibetan rugs vary greatly but clouds and floral motifs are popular. Fantastical creatures from classical mythology like dragons and phoenix. The Tibetan dragon is a symbol for luck designed to attract good fortune while the phoenix denotes transformation to the spiritual world.
While antique rugs from Tibet often feature a limited colour palette with subtle shades, modern rugs may feature brighter hues. Care must be taken to preserve dyes during cleaning or colours can bleed into one and other disrupting rug patterns.
After a dye test has been conducted and a dye fix applied if necessary to prevent colour bleeding, cleaning starts with dry soil removal. We use miniature harmonic vibrations to sensitively extract dirt and debris before rugs are soaked with mild detergent. The solution is then flushed out with soft water and rug fringes are carefully cleaned. If stains are present each is removed in turn and any odours removed with an anti-bacterial treatment. Rugs are groomed by hand and comprehensively dried and, if requested, we can add a stain protection treatment.
All cleaning is carried out offsite at our purpose-built studio to avoid any disruption. Reach out to us today at the Rug Cleaning Studio to rejuvenate your Tibetan rug.
