Story Behind the Art: For centuries, Tibetan rugs have been woven as both functional textiles and artistic creations, inspired by geometric motifs, auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, and elements of nature. Each rug tells a story through its vibrant colors and meaningful patterns, embodying Tibet’s cultural depth and spiritual heritage. After 1959, the Tibetan diaspora brought this ancient craft to Nepal and India, sparking a powerful revival of rug weaving that redefined the tradition on a global scale. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had achieved international acclaim, with Nepalese artisans, trained under Tibetan masters, becoming essential in preserving and advancing the art form. Distinguished by the Tibetan knot—a unique slit-loop weaving technique—these rugs are renowned for their dense, velvety pile, luxurious texture, and exceptional softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs blend ancient symbolism with modern artistry, featuring both traditional designs such as branching florals and snow lions and contemporary free-form patterns that elegantly unite heritage and innovation.
