Story Behind the Art: 

Throughout centuries, Tibetans have embraced the artistry and practicality of rugs, incorporating diverse elements like geometric patterns, auspicious symbols, real and mythical creatures, and natural imagery into their designs, creating both visually striking and functional pieces. However, it was not until after 1959, with the Chinese invasion of Tibet and the subsequent dispersal of Tibetan communities to Nepal and Tibet, that Tibetan rug weaving saw a pivotal commercial resurgence. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had gained international prominence, leading to the recruitment of Nepalese artisans to meet the surging demand, who soon became integral to preserving Tibetan rug weaving traditions. These rugs are distinguished by their use of the Tibetan knot, a unique slit-loop technique that yields a pile characterized by a captivating blend of depth, texture, and opulence. In contemporary times, Tibetan and Nepalese rugs, including those woven by Tibetan refugees in Nepal and Indo-Tibetan rugs produced in India, showcase a wide spectrum of designs, ranging from modern interpretations of traditional Tibetan motifs such as branching florals and snow lions to a diverse array of innovative and globally-inspired free-form patterns.
