New for Fall '09: colorshade rugs: masterpieces of traditional Tibetan hand-dyeing
Torana colorshade rugs shade imperceptibly from intense deep shades at the edges to brilliant hues at the center. These rugs are a combination of traditional Tibetan hand-dyeing in small batches, combined with a special weaving technique that is unique to the Tibetan plateau. A classical coloring method used for hundreds of years on Tibetan carpets has been brought back to life to create modern masterpieces.
Two colorways are shown here: Aqua (toning from deep indigo to sea-spray) and Spice (toning from dark chocolate to fiery red). More colorways will be added later, and custom colors can also be ordered.
The rugs shown here are in our new 40knot weave, a very thick Tibetan weave with a lot of texture that we think complements the colorshading effect. These rugs are also available in our standard 70knot weave.
We have just received two 5ftx7ft rugs (pictured below) at our Beijing flagship store and more will be arriving before Christmas. You are also welcome to order these designs in any size or proportions.
The photos don't truly do these rugs justice - come and have a look at them in our stores.
