For centuries, Tibetans have crafted rugs that serve both decorative and functional purposes, incorporating geometric patterns, auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, and natural motifs into their designs. However, it was only after the 1959 Chinese invasion and the subsequent Tibetan diaspora in Nepal and India that the Tibetan rug-making tradition underwent a commercial revival. By the 1970s, demand for Tibetan rugs surged, and Nepalese artisans became central to the craft’s preservation. The distinctive Tibetan knotting technique results in a richly textured, deep pile, making these rugs highly sought after. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs range from traditional floral patterns and snow lions to contemporary, abstract designs.
