Story Behind the Art : For generations, Tibetan artisans have woven rugs for both ceremonial and domestic uses, incorporating geometric forms, auspicious Buddhist symbols, mythical animals, and natural imagery into vibrant, culturally significant designs. The dramatic revival of Tibetan rug production occurred after 1959 when political upheaval led to the Tibetan diaspora spreading into Nepal and India. By the 1970s, Tibetan and Nepalese weavers transformed the craft into a thriving commercial art form. Unlike the Persian (Senneh) or Turkish knots common across Asia, Tibetan rugs are created using a unique slit-loop “Tibetan knot,” where yarn is wrapped around a metal rod laid across the warp and then sliced to form rows of dense pile. This method creates luxurious depth, texture, and visual richness. Traditional motifs include dragons, phoenixes, lotus flowers, snow lions, and other designs influenced by both Tibetan spirituality and ancient Chinese décor. Modern Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs span from reinterpreted traditional patterns to contemporary free-form motifs, appealing strongly to U.S. buyers seeking handcrafted wool rugs, Buddhist-inspired décor, or artisan knotting techniques.
