About the Item

A striking example of Himalayan textile artistry, this 19th Century Tibetan Saddle Blanket features a richly woven floral pattern in shades of navy, blue, pink, yellow, and red. Originating from Tibet in the late 1800s, this blanket exemplifies the vibrant aesthetics and skilled craftsmanship of Tibetan weavers. Uniquely constructed, the piece is formed by joining two individually woven floral panels, creating a balanced and harmonious composition intended for practical use as a saddle blanket. The original red cloth backing remains intact, and the textile is in excellent condition considering its age and intended use. Both decorative and historically significant, this antique textile is ideally suited for display as wall art, offering texture, color, and cultural depth to interiors ranging from global-inspired and bohemian to traditional and eclectic. As a rare piece of 19th-century Tibetan equestrian decor, it captures the spirit of nomadic life and adds a sense of journey and history to any space.

Antique Art Deco Chinese Rug, Handwoven Wool Pile, Floral Motifs, 13' x 16'

Antique Art Deco Chinese Rug, Handwoven Wool Pile, Floral Motifs, 13' x 16'

Located in Barrington, IL

AA true masterpiece of early 20th-century textile art, this palace-size Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese rug is a rare and striking example from the first quarter of the 20th century—now approaching 100 years old and preserved in remarkable condition. The rug features a luxurious camelhair or tan-colored field, a subtle yet warm backdrop that sets the stage for a vibrant interplay of floral motifs in pink, blue, red, and lavender. What makes this piece especially rare is its wide width and near-square proportions—an unusual and highly coveted dimension in antique Chinese rugs. The composition showcases the signature Nichols style: bold, large-scale design elements paired with an imaginative and joyous use of color. The bright, richly colored floral border contrasts beautifully with the soft field, creating an elegant visual balance that feels both grounded and exuberant.
