Story Behind the Art : Tibetan rugs have served both decorative and everyday functions for centuries, incorporating geometric patterns, religious symbols, mythical beasts, and natural imagery into bold and colorful designs. After the 1959 Chinese invasion and subsequent Tibetan diaspora, weaving traditions were revitalized in Nepal and India, giving rise to a major commercial renaissance in the 1970s. Tibetan rugs are distinguished by their slit-loop knot—where yarn is wrapped around a rod and cut to create rows of dense pile—producing rich texture and depth. Design traditions often include lotus flowers, dragons, phoenixes, snow lions, and Chinese-inspired ornamentation. Today’s Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs span from traditional layouts to Westernized and contemporary patterns, making them especially appealing for U.S. shoppers seeking artisan wool rugs, Buddhist-inspired décor, or culturally meaningful handcrafted textiles.
