{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-orh21178","title":"8x10'4'' Hand Knotted Wool Beige Brown Tibetan Art Deco Plush Pile Michaelian \u0026 Kohlberg Rug","description":"Tibetan Art Deco rugs brought a distinctly architectural sensibility to hand knotted construction, and this example carries that quality with confidence. The ivory field is organized around an all over arrangement of stepped cross forms in warm brown, each connected to the next by repeating oval chain links running in both directions across the surface, building a lattice that has real graphic weight while the pale ground keeps it from feeling dense. The border runs a sequence of bold geometric diamond figures in rust and brown, with cross forms, hatched fills and striped divisions worked into each one, adding detail that holds the eye without pulling focus from the field. The palette of beige, brown and rust sits warmly across the full surface, carried in plush Tibetan knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation with the luster and depth that this construction produces so consistently well.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x10'4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Beige, Brown, Olive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21178\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":52386945663269,"sku":"ORH21178","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21178.jpg?v=1779102200","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-orh21178","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
