Story Behind the Art : Tibetan rugs have a long history of being woven for both practical and decorative purposes, often inspired by symbolism, nature, and mythology. Over the centuries, they have evolved into intricate works of art, combining vibrant colors with meaningful designs. After 1959, when many Tibetans fled to Nepal and India, the craft underwent a major revival as Tibetan refugees and their Nepalese counterparts began weaving rugs commercially. By the 1970s, these rugs had gained global recognition, thanks in part to the skill and craftsmanship of artisans who carried forward this tradition. Tibetan rugs are known for their use of the Tibetan knot, a unique slit-loop technique that gives the rugs exceptional texture, depth, and softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs continue to merge traditional patterns with modern designs, creating versatile and beautiful pieces that bridge the gap between heritage and contemporary artistry.
