Story Behind the Art:
For generations, Tibetan artisans have woven rugs not only for practical use but also as a profound form of artistic and cultural expression. Their designs draw inspiration from sacred symbols, geometric motifs, mythical beings, and elements of nature, resulting in creations that carry deep spiritual meaning and visual beauty.
Following the Tibetan diaspora of 1959, the weaving tradition experienced a renaissance as displaced weavers resettled across Nepal and India, blending heritage with new influences. By the 1970s, this collaboration between Tibetan and Nepalese artisans propelled the craft onto the global stage, establishing Tibetan rugs as symbols of luxury and authenticity.
Renowned for their distinctive slit-loop weaving method known as the Tibetan knot, these rugs are celebrated for their lush texture, depth, and softness. Modern Tibetan and Indo-Tibetan designs now reinterpret traditional motifs—like snow lions, floral scrolls, and auspicious emblems—through a contemporary lens, seamlessly merging ancient craftsmanship with modern aesthetics to suit today’s refined interiors.
