About the Item
79327 Vintage Tibetan Bauhaus Design Rug, 03'06 x 05'06. Step into the rarefied world where artisan tradition meets avant-garde abstraction. This vintage Tibetan rug, hand-knotted in the highland ateliers of Nepal, transcends conventional expectations of Himalayan weaving. Here, we’re greeted with bold architectural planes—sun-drenched ochre, burnished rust, deep plum, and shadowy black—stacked and sliced in a rhythm that echoes Bauhaus modernism and echoes the minimalist language of Paul Klee or Josef Albers. It’s an exquisite work of art that dares to speak in shapes rather than symbols, anchoring a space not just in warmth, but in intellectual gravity.
Woven entirely from hand-spun Himalayan wool, the tactile richness of this rug is matched only by its visual geometry. The interplay of a sumptuous wool pile and graphic form creates a luxurious tension—at once grounding and arresting. The asymmetry of its layout invites contemplation: is it a horizon, a cityscape, or a colorfield waiting to be deciphered? This isn’t just a floor covering; it’s a statement of aesthetic conviction, a visual artifact of design purity—crafted in the crucible where ancient Himalayan techniques meet late-modern Western design ideals.
More than just an object of beauty, this extraordinary masterpiece symbolizes the quiet legacy of Nepalese craftsmanship preserved through social good. Woven in workshops that honor ethical labor and support local communities, its creation upheld traditions of hand-knotting passed down through generations. Each precious knot carries the weight of cultural continuity—a slow, intentional act that resists the pace of mass production. For the collector or designer who seeks more than décor—who seeks meaning—this rug offers soul, provenance, and story.
In a world saturated with replicas, this rare vintage Tibetan Bauhaus rug occupies its own echelon. It belongs not to trends, but to the realm of timeless objects: a curated bridge between Eastern craft and Western modernism. Whether placed in a sleek Manhattan loft or a contemplative Palm Springs retreat, it will read not simply as a rug—but as a curated visual poem underfoot.

s Biophilic Bauhaus Tibetan Carpet with Organic Modern Style
Located in Dallas, TX
77537 Vintage Bauhaus Highlands Tibetan Rug, 08'00 x 09'06. This vintage Biophilic Bauhaus Tibetan rug is a hand-knotted symphony of wool that fuses the raw elegance of nature with the visionary order of Bauhaus design. Crafted by skilled hands in the highlands, this striking textile dissolves the boundaries between form and feeling, offering a tactile landscape where geometric abstraction meets earth’s organic breath. In a palette of deep spruce, sun-washed ochre, clay red, and stone gray, each color feels unearthed, as if lifted from soil, sky, and bark.
The composition unfolds like a fragmented terrain—planes of angular forms and softened vegetal shadows interlock in dynamic tension. Echoes of Paul Klee’s dreamscapes and Josef Albers’ disciplined studies resonate across the surface, reimagined here through the loom’s language. These abstract motifs hint at forests, peaks, and pathways—not as they appear, but as they are remembered: layered, intuitive, imperfect, and alive. This is biophilia rendered through the Bauhaus lens—a weaving not just of wool, but of memory and geometry, of nature sensed and structure studied.
More than a decorative piece, this vintage Tibetan rug serves as a sustainable conduit between modern interiors and the natural world. Its hand-spun highland wool speaks of ethical craft and ecological respect, while the design itself embraces the ethos of Biophilic Design...
