Story Behind the Art: Tibetan rugs have long served both functional and decorative roles, adorned with geometric patterns, auspicious symbols, and vivid depictions of animals and nature. The craft saw a pivotal revival after the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet, as the Tibetan diaspora in Nepal and India fueled a commercial resurgence. By the 1970s, Nepalese artisans became key stewards of this tradition, meeting growing demand with their expertise. Using the unique Tibetan knot—a slit-loop technique—these rugs achieve a lush, textured pile. Contemporary Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs blend traditional motifs, like snow lions and floral branches, with modern, free-form designs, creating a rich fusion of heritage and innovation.
