Story Behind the Art: For centuries, Tibetan weavers have created rugs that serve both practical and artistic purposes, drawing inspiration from geometric forms, auspicious symbols, mythical beings, and elements of nature. Each design carries deep cultural and spiritual meaning, woven into vibrant, enduring compositions. Following the Tibetan diaspora of 1959, this ancient craft experienced a powerful revival as weaving traditions took root in Nepal and India. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had achieved international acclaim, with Nepalese artisans, trained alongside Tibetan masters, playing a crucial role in preserving and advancing the art form. Distinguished by their signature Tibetan knot, a slit-loop weaving method unique to the region, these rugs are known for their sumptuous texture, dense pile, and remarkable softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs celebrate both heritage and innovation, showcasing everything from traditional motifs like snow lions and florals to modern, abstract designs that seamlessly blend ancient symbolism with contemporary style.
