Story Behind the Art : Tibetans have long been renowned for their art of weaving rugs, blending both function and beauty in their creations. Their designs are deeply rooted in cultural symbols, natural elements, and mythical creatures, giving each rug a rich narrative. Following the Tibetan diaspora after 1959, the craft saw a revival, particularly in Nepal and India, where the skill of rug weaving was passed on by Tibetan refugees. The 1970s marked a significant era when Tibetan rugs began to make an international impact, with Nepalese artisans playing a key role in preserving and evolving the art form. What distinguishes these rugs is the use of the Tibetan knot, a unique slit-loop weaving technique that creates a dense, textured pile. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs encompass both traditional motifs such as snow lions and branching florals, as well as contemporary, free-form patterns that fuse heritage with modern design.
