Story Behind the Art: For generations, Tibetan rugs have served both practical and decorative roles, their designs drawing on geometric motifs, auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, and nature-inspired imagery to convey vibrant color and layered meaning. The craft shifted dramatically after 1959, when the Tibetan diaspora settled across Nepal and India, igniting a commercial revival of rug weaving. By the 1970s, Tibetan carpets reached a global audience, with **Nepalese artisans trained alongside Tibetan refugees **playing a pivotal role in preserving and advancing the tradition. Technically distinctive, these rugs employ the Tibetan knot (slit-loop) technique, producing a plush pile with exceptional depth, texture, and softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs span the spectrum from reimagined traditional motifs branching florals, snow lions, and auspicious medallions to modern, free-form patterns that seamlessly bridge heritage and contemporary design, making them favorites in both classic and modern interiors.
