Story Behind the Art:
For centuries, Tibetan weavers have created rugs that embody both practicality and artistic heritage. Inspired by geometric motifs, auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, and natural elements, these rugs reflect the deep spiritual and cultural identity of Tibet. Following the Tibetan diaspora in 1959, this ancient craft experienced a remarkable revival in Nepal and India, where skilled Nepalese artisans trained alongside Tibetan refugees to preserve and enhance traditional weaving methods. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had gained worldwide acclaim for their exceptional quality and distinctive artistry.
Renowned for their signature Tibetan knot or slit-loop weaving technique, these hand-knotted rugs are admired for their luxurious pile, rich texture, and unmatched softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs blend tradition and innovation—featuring classic motifs such as snow lions and florals alongside modern, abstract patterns. Handcrafted from fine wool and silk, these rugs continue to represent timeless craftsmanship, bridging centuries of cultural tradition with contemporary design elegance.
