The Tibetan rugs were used in monastery by lamas, aristocrats
and nomad, and it was not until 1970 that the outside world
began to see the Tibetan rugs in the market.
What began as a Tibetan refugee project of the
Swiss and Nepalese governments (after China annexed Tibet
in 1959), has transformed into a full-fledged industry.
Highly developed Nepalese craftsmanship has taken
this ancient art to new levels of sophistication and to
the forefront of decorative and contemporary arts and designs.

percent of Tibetan rugs since the 1980’s but

range of colors and design potential have captured
the imagination of artists, designers interior decorators
and have received growing appreciation and praise by people
who use them.
