{"product_id":"blue-handknotted-tibetan-orh20507","title":"2'5''x9'8'' Hand Knotted Wool Blue, Beige Tibetan Sherpa Rug","description":"Hand knotted from 100% wool with a cotton foundation, this 2'6\" x 10' Tibetan runner features a medium pile height and a richly layered multi-color palette inspired by contemporary Tibetan design. Crafted in a long, narrow format, the rug is designed to bring movement, color, and artistic expression into transitional spaces while maintaining the durability expected from hand-knotted wool construction. The rug’s design departs from traditional geometry and instead embraces an abstract, painterly composition. Vertical and broken brushstroke-like markings flow along the length of the rug, creating a sense of rhythm and direction that naturally suits a runner format. Colors unfold organically across the surface, blending soft blues, slate gray, muted rust, gentle green, and hints of rose, all set against a light, airy base. Each hue appears intentionally placed yet loosely distributed, giving the rug the feeling of a hand-painted textile rather than a rigid pattern. This Tibetan-inspired approach emphasizes texture, tonal variation, and visual storytelling, allowing the rug to act as a focal element without feeling decorative for its own sake. Ideal for hallways, entry corridors, kitchens, or alongside a bed, this 2'6\" x 10' hand knotted wool Tibetan runner rug adds visual energy to narrow spaces that are often overlooked. Its expressive design and balanced color palette make it especially well suited for modern, eclectic, and contemporary interiors where artful surfaces and handcrafted details are meant to be noticed and appreciated.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 2'5\"x9'8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Blue, Slate, Rust, Green, Rose, 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#: ORH20507\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":51921971904805,"sku":"ORH20507","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20507.jpg?v=1769079486","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/blue-handknotted-tibetan-orh20507","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
