Story Behind the Art: Indo-Tibetan rugs are a distinctive category of hand-knotted carpets that merge ancient Tibetan artistry with refined Indian manufacturing. While their aesthetic roots are thousands of years old, the modern "Indo-Tibetan" industry emerged significantly after 1959, when Tibetan refugees brought their unique weaving traditions to Northern India. These rugs are defined by the Tibetan Loop Knot (or Senneh loop), a technique where yarn is wrapped around a metal rod before being cut to create a plush pile. Unlike Persian or Turkish knots, this method allows for a denser, more resilient texture. Traditionally woven from the wool of highland Himalayan sheep, modern versions often blend this with premium New Zealand wool for added softness. Before becoming luxury home decor, these rugs were primarily functional—serving as sitting mats, bed covers, and even horse saddles for nomadic tribes.
