Tapis Tigre - Tibet (Chine) - Lot 141
Tapis Tigre - Tibet (Chine) Period of the Chinese emperor GUANGXU (1875-1908). Wool carpet woven and hand-knotted in Tibet, size : 96 x 93 cm. Good condition for its age (one small invisible restoration). The tiger skin provides protection like that of a guard over the person in meditation. Tibetan carpets with tiger designs appeared at the end of the 19th century. Genuine tiger skins from India had become very rare. Provenance: Sandro VOLTA Collection (1900-1986) and descendants. Sandro Volta was a writer, journalist and art collector. He wrote the preface to the "Manifesto of Dadaism" by his friend Tristan Tzara. Part of his collection was sold by Maître Rheims at Hôtel Drouot on 16 and 17 May 1957. He was a correspondent for the newspaper LA STAMPA from 1925 to 1932 in China, Tibet and Vietnam. Lots will be delivered free of charge in Paris (rue Drouot), Lyon or Marseille a few days after the sale or will be sent at the buyer's expense by the carrier of his choice.
