Regal Rug-Tiger Rug

Tiger Rug Co. creates hand-knotted carpets that we consider today's masterpieces and tomorrow's heirlooms. The reason is our wool. The pure wool used in our Tibetan oriental rugs comes from sheep that graze the Himalayan mountain range at elevations that touch the sky. The extreme climate in this region at these altitudes results in a wool rich in lanolin. This produces the finest wool for the weaving of carpets. Our master weavers put to use their artistic talents to create some of the most truly unique and beautifully-crafted carpet designs available today.

We have been importing oriental carpets from Nepal to our warehouse in Warwick, Rhode Island since the summer of 2000. The wool used in the production of these carpets is derived from sheep that graze in the Himalayan mountain range of Tibet at altitudes of 12,000 feet and higher. Due to this high altitude and extreme cold temperatures, the wool produced has unusually high lanolin content. It is the lanolin content that gives the wool a natural stain resistance and a very soft feel to the touch.
