<p class="TIT">Tibetan Carpets</p>
<p>Tibet is located on cultural and trading crossroads in the Center of Asia just North of the Himalayas . Travellers often stayed some time in Tibet bringing along not only their goods but also their cultural backgrounds as Bouddhists, Taoists, Christians. Their influences can be found in the various designs of the carpets. Tibetan carpets were found in the Moghuls Courts, the Imperial Courts of China and the Royal Courts in the Middle East and Europe .</p>
<p>Tibetan wool is considered to be of the highest quality one can find in the World, because of the thick hardy coats that sheep develop of living at extremely high altitudes. Over time carpets made of Tibetan wool develop their distinctive patina (shine). Tibetan wool also has a natural springness that resists matting. So the Tibetan carpets are considered to last longer than any carpet. <br>

<p class="TIT">Tibetan Community in Nepal</p>
<p>Paldor holds close ties with a limited number of high quality carpet manufacturers which are run and manned by Tibetans. Today these are often located in Nepal where the Tibetan refugees started new carpet facilities taking up their former activities. The methods applied have been in use by many generations and these encompass designs, materials, weaving in the traditional ways. Tibetans are living in the Kathmandu Valley : in Patan, Bouddha and Swayam, as well as scattered in the valleys of the Himalayas where they also have established their Bouddhist way of living.</p>
