Story Behind the Art: Rooted in centuries of Tibetan tradition, rugs have long served both practical and artistic roles, adorned with vibrant symbols, mythical creatures, and nature-inspired motifs. Following the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet, the craft found new life among the Tibetan diaspora in Nepal and India, sparking a commercial renaissance by the 1970s. Nepalese weavers, stepping in to meet growing demand, became guardians of this heritage, mastering the slit-loop Tibetan knot technique that yields a plush, textured pile brimming with character. Today, Tibetan rugs—whether woven in Nepal by refugees or in India as Indo-Tibetans—blend classic floral tendrils and snow lion imagery with bold, modern interpretations, offering a rich tapestry of cultural legacy and contemporary flair.
