Story Behind the Art: Tibetan weaving has long blended function, spirituality, and artistic depth, using patterns rooted in Buddhist symbolism, sacred geometry, protective creatures, and nature. Following the Tibetan exile of , many artisans resettled in Nepal and northern India, revitalizing their craft in new cultural landscapes. By the late th century, Nepal emerged as a global center for Tibetan rug production. Their hallmark is the distinctive Tibetan knot—unlike the Persian or Turkish knots, this technique loops continuous yarn around a metal rod, producing textured, luxurious piles with pronounced depth. Iconography combines Buddhist motifs with dragons, phoenixes, floral medallions, and auspicious emblems borrowed from Chinese design. Modern Indo-Tibetan workshops reinterpret these motifs with abstract, free-flowing compositions that appeal to today’s U.S. buyers seeking handcrafted Tibetan rugs, luxury living-room carpets, meditation-room décor, and high-quality wool art rugs.
