Although there are no written records of the history of carpets in Tibet, it is generally believed that pile carpets were woven as the 11 th century. Tibetans had developed a distinctive tradition of carpet weaving by the end of first millennium. The art of Tibetan carpet weaving can be categorized into three stages. leu' or the flat weaving, the simple knotting “Dri-ched” . The famous “wangden” carpet and later developing into the present day carpet . Woven carpets became a defining aspect of Tibetan material culture, and carpet weaving found acceptance as a folk art. Carpet waeving was always a household occupation in Tibet, passed from one generation to another.

According to archaeological evidence, sheep were reared as long as four thousand years ago in Northern Tibet. What has sustained carpet weaving is Tibet's greatest natural sheep wool. Tibetan sheep wool is prized for its elastically and its tensile strength. Its smooth surface and reflecting more light gives it a distinct lustre.

Designs in Tibetan carpets have evolved significantly. Generally, traditional designs resist integration and are complete into themselves. Whereas western tastes tend to be dictated by the design and color scheme depending on the environment they are placed.

We work on both traditional and custom designs.

Dyeing is another interesting part of Tibetan carpet. In Tibet, it is the environment friendly “ vegetable dyes” alone that are prepared and used in all the carpets. Metal free chemical dyes are now used in Nepal. We use both as per client's choice.
