Antique Thangkas

Antique Thangka paintings are thus highly revered both spiritually and culturally, commanding significant respect in the global art market due to their unique character, historical weight, and undeniable beauty.

Antique Thangka paintings stand in stark contrast to their modern counterparts. Artworks that are dated before the middle of the 20th century are considered historical artifacts.
Collectors and practitioners often believe that authenticity (and thus age) imbues antique Thangkas with a unique spiritual energy or aura, derived from centuries of ritual use, devotion, and the artist’s original intent during their creation within established traditions – particularly crucial for intricate Mandalas.
