Story Behind the Art: For centuries, Tibetans have used rugs for decorative and functional purposes, drawing upon geometric patterns, auspicious symbols, real and mythical animals, and natural imagery to create beautiful, colorful designs. Over time, these rugs became a central part of Tibetan culture, serving both practical and symbolic roles. Following the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959, Tibetan rug weaving experienced a resurgence as artisans sought to preserve their craft while adapting to commercial demand. By the 1970s, Nepalese artisans played a crucial role in continuing these traditions, producing rugs that utilized the Tibetan knot technique, a method that gives the pile a unique blend of depth and texture. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs reflect a mix of classic motifs, such as snow lions and floral medallions, along with modern, free-form patterns, making them versatile and appealing in contemporary interiors.
