Story Behind the Art: For centuries, Tibetans have woven rugs for both decorative and practical purposes, incorporating intricate patterns, auspicious symbols, mythical animals, and natural motifs. The 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet led to a revival of Tibetan rug weaving, particularly in Nepal, where refugee artisans continued the craft. Tibetan rugs are known for their distinct slit-loop knotting technique, creating a deep and textured pile. Today, these rugs blend traditional motifs with modern freeform designs, making them a sought-after choice in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
