Tibetan furniture is primitive and simple, yet gorgeous. It is ornamented with colorful paintings, precious stones, engraved wood, etc. Whats more, it is often decorated with fur, which is peculiar to this nation. In addition to these, it is also famous for its magical decorative patterns, associated with fortune and treasure. Tibetan furniture is rich in color. Red, yellow and brown are the ones most favored by people there. Paintings on the furniture are often related to religion, which can be mysterious in an outsiders eye.
Simple classifications Tibetan furniture consists of cabinet, table and chest.Tibetan cabinets are common in tibetan people's home. Most of them have more or less similar designs. They are used as dinning tables, writing desks, and deposit cupboards, placing food, clothes, quilts, and religious instruments. Because of their many functions, they are always oily in appearance. But do not wipe the grease out, for it serves as precious protection to the cabinet. Furntiure in tibet according to all historical accounts only exsited in monasteries and lamaseries, The secular home ,regardless of the financial assets or the religious following had no furniture ,What we consider throw rugs or hall runners were the beds ,chairs ,and sofas of Tibetan .Monks had some some alter or tables, The larger pieces were exclusively made for lama's and the best pieces were made for visiting high lama's residences .monasteries typically have a residential compound reserved for visiting high lama and/or many times one reserved for the DALA LAMA .Over the years these lama's cabinets were passed down or sold to another lama or monk .It is the usual custom for the possesions of a monk or lama to be sold upon his death and the proceeds dispersed as directed by the deceased person prior to his death .
