{"product_id":"brown-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21303","title":"8x10 Hand Knotted Wool \u0026 Pure Silk Brown, Taupe Premium Tibetan Art Deco Tibetano Designer Rug","description":"Hand knotted from wool and pure silk, this Tibetan rug builds its design out of stacked rectangles and a single offset circle, laid across a field of rich brown and warm taupe. That reliance on hard geometry and clean, overlapping blocks is straight out of the Art Deco playbook, a style that traded florals and scrollwork for bold shapes and confident lines, and it's a striking departure from the more traditional patterns. The circle breaks from the rectangular grid entirely, a small but deliberate detail that pulls the eye toward the upper portion of the field. Ivory lines frame each block with real precision, separating brown from taupe with a crispness that keeps the whole composition feeling architectural. Wool gives the piece its substance and durability while silk adds just enough shine to the circle and border lines to keep the palette from feeling too flat. It's a rug built on geometry rather than pattern, which is really the whole spirit of Art Deco design carried through into a completely different weaving tradition. *As with most photography, colors may appear a shade more vivid on screen than they do in natural light. Expect the true tones to be a bit gentler in person.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Pure Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Brown, Taupe, Seafoam, Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\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#: ORH21303\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":52820362920229,"sku":"ORH21303","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21303.jpg?v=1784544118","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/brown-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21303","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
