{"product_id":"brown-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21304","title":"8x10 Hand Knotted Wool \u0026 Pure Silk Brown, Tan Premium Tibetan Arts \u0026 Crafts Tibetano Designer Rug","description":"Hand knotted from wool and pure silk, this Tibetan rug lays out a symmetrical arrangement of large palmette leaves and coral colored blossoms, mirrored top to bottom so the design meets in the middle like a folded pressed flower. That kind of formal, stylized botanical repeat is a direct nod to the Arts and Crafts movement, which built its textile language around exactly this sort of naturalistic pattern rendered with clean, deliberate outlines. Tan and beige leaves fan out in tall sprays against the deep brown ground, their scalloped edges giving them a slightly feathered look. Silk carries the shine in those tan leaf tones especially, catching light in a way that separates them from the flatter brown background and gives the whole design more dimension than the palette alone would suggest. There's a real formality to how the motifs repeat and mirror across the field, closer to a printed textile pattern than a typical hand knotted rug, which is part of what makes the Arts and Crafts influence so clear here. *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, Tan, Peach, Moss\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#: ORH21304\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":52820362952997,"sku":"ORH21304","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21304.jpg?v=1784544121","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/brown-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21304","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
