Nepalese Carpets

Nepalese CarpetsIn Nepal before 1960, whatever little number of carpets that were produced were for the domestic market and that too not very good quality. Tibetan refugees initiated the process of better quality knotted carpets. Even now, the carpet belt is located in and around Katmandu.

The traditional patterns are influenced by the Buddhist arts and motifs though in recent years modern motifs have been included. The designs are also influenced by the Chinese motifs.The designs are first drawn on a graph and then mapped on the loom. The Nepalese carpets are low to medium quality in terms of knot density, density ranging from 60-120 knots per square inch. They use high quality wool for the piles though the base may be cotton.

The Nepalese carpets have a distinct luster similar to the Tibetan carpets because of unique knotting style and different quality of wool from the Persian carpets. They are much more affordable than the Persian carpets.
