{"product_id":"blush-handknotted-wool-orh21180","title":"8'2''x9'9'' Hand Knotted Wool Blush Aqua Tibetan Transitional Michaelian \u0026 Kohlberg Swiss Wash Rug","description":"Tibetan transitional weaving lends itself particularly well to striped compositions, where the hand knotted construction allows different bands of pattern to develop with a clarity and definition that gives the format real architectural presence. The full field here is organized into alternating horizontal bands, each carrying its own distinct motif, scrolling acanthus and vine forms in aqua and gold, geometric diamond figures on mauve grounds, and narrower plain stripes in blush and beige that give the eye room between the more detailed rows, the whole sequence repeating across the surface. The palette of blush, aqua, gold, beige and mauve sits across the full surface with a softness and tonal harmony that wool pile on a cotton foundation carries with particular depth, the plush Tibetan construction giving each band of color a richness that holds the composition together as a whole.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'2\"x9'9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Blush, Aqua, Gold, Beige, Mauve, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\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#: ORH21180\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":52386945761573,"sku":"ORH21180","price":1799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21180.jpg?v=1779102215","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/blush-handknotted-wool-orh21180","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
