FAQs

An antique Tibetan horse saddle cover is a traditional woven textile, often featuring pile carpet construction with geometric or symbolic motifs, originally designed to fit over a pack or riding saddle in the Himalayan region.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation, often dyed with natural pigments derived from plants and minerals.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit traditional Tibetan knotting techniques, natural organic wear patterns, hand-spun wool with subtle colour variations, and culturally specific motifs such as shou symbols, dragons, or geometric borders.

Due to their compact size and rich graphic patterns, these textiles are frequently mounted on linen backgrounds as wall art, displayed on low tables, or used as accent pieces on benches.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuuming gently with mesh protection, and avoiding moisture or harsh chemical cleaners.
