{"product_id":"blue-handknotted-oushak-orh20532","title":"7'9''x10 Hand Knotted Wool Blue, Gray Oushak Arts and Crafts Rug","description":"Inspired by the decorative richness and structural clarity of the Arts and Crafts movement, the 8x10 hand knotted wool blue Arts and Crafts rug is woven with a medium pile on a durable cotton foundation, offering a refined blend of craftsmanship, texture, and longevity. The rug’s composition features a balanced, symmetrical layout with a softly articulated central motif surrounded by repeating floral medallions and stylized botanical forms, reflecting design principles rooted in nature and handcraft. A deep blue field layered with gray undertones creates a grounded, slightly textured backdrop, allowing the intricate motifs to emerge with depth and definition. Accents of gold and rose highlight the floral elements and connecting vinework, while touches of aqua add freshness and visual lift throughout the design. Subtle black detailing is used sparingly to outline select motifs, adding contrast and structure without overwhelming the palette. The border frames the rug with a continuous sequence of complementary floral and geometric elements in coordinated shades of blue, gray, gold, and aqua, reinforcing the rug’s architectural rhythm and visual cohesion. Rich yet approachable, this rug is especially well suited for living rooms, studies, dining spaces, or layered seating areas where an Arts and Crafts aesthetic can anchor the room with warmth, pattern, and timeless character.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 7'9\"x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Blue, Gray, Gold, Rose, Aqua, Black, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH20532\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Originating as a protest against mass produced inferior factory products of the 19th century, the Arts and Crafts Movement favored originality and craftsmanship. William Morris, main proponent of the movement, emphasized the use of handcrafts over the use of machinery and introduced a new design sensibility that evoked nature in home interiors through furniture, upholstery, wallpaper and rugs with intricate intertwining fruit, flower, and foliage patterns. The popularity of Morris’s rug designs has endured to the current times and stands emblematic of Art \u0026amp; Crafts rugs with their simple, bold, informal design themes rooted in nature. Today, the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts rugs embrace a multitude of styles ranging from the Art Nouveau style (rug patterns with flowing, curvilinear lines and nature-inspired, floral designs), Mission-style as well as geometric patterns inspired by Native American designs, American Prairie style and Caucasian rugs (hand-knotted rugs made in a small, Middle-Eastern region called the Caucasus). Arts and Crafts Rugs' natural motifs and interesting color palette add to their versatility and enduring charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51921976131877,"sku":"ORH20532","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20532.jpg?v=1769079678","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/blue-handknotted-oushak-orh20532","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
