The rug features a beige ground scattered with drifting patches of coral, gold, silver, aqua, and soft blue, layered in a way that reads like weathered stone or sun-bleached pigment. What really sets it apart is the carved, high-low texture: the wool ground sits low while raised bamboo silk passages catch the light, so the surface has depth you can feel underfoot as well as see. Sherpa weaving brings the density and precision needed to pull off this kind of dimensional work, and the hand-knotted construction means it holds up to everyday living with kids and pets in the mix.\n*Note: This rug was photographed under studio lighting, which means the colors on screen may appear a little more vibrant than they do in person. We'd recommend watching the video below for a truer sense of the palette.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'8\"x11'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Bamboo Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Coral, Aqua, Turquoise, Gold, Blue, Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21322\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art :For centuries, Tibetans have woven rugs for both functional and decorative purposes, drawing inspiration from geometric motifs, auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, and natural imagery to create designs rich in color and meaning. The craft underwent a pivotal transformation after 1959 as the Tibetan diaspora spread across Nepal and India, sparking a commercial revival of rug weaving. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had gained international prominence, with Nepalese artisans—trained alongside Tibetan refugees—becoming central to sustaining and evolving the tradition. Distinctive for their unique slit-loop technique known as the Tibetan knot, these rugs possess a pile of remarkable depth, texture, and softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs range from reimagined traditional motifs, such as branching florals and snow lions, to modern, free-form patterns that bridge heritage with contemporary design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53612349423909,"sku":"ORH21322","price":3599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21322_20shopify_20orh.jpg?v=1787051958","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-orh21322","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
