{"product_id":"brown-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21313","title":"8x10 Hand Knotted Wool \u0026 Pure Silk Brown, Gold Premium Tibetan Modern \u0026 Contemporay Tibetano Designer Rug","description":"Hand knotted from wool and pure silk, this Tibetan rug lets a handful of gold vines climb up the deep brown field, each one coiling into loose spirals that vary in size as they wind their way toward the top. The vines drift and curl with a kind of freehand looseness that makes the whole design feel drawn rather than plotted, more calligraphy than botanical illustration. Silk carries the gold linework, giving it a soft glow against the flatter brown wool ground so the spirals read clearly even from a distance without ever looking harsh or overly graphic. It's a good example of how far premium Tibetan production has moved from strict pattern repetition toward something closer to line drawing, using the fineness of hand knotting to hold a gesture as loose as a pencil sketch. Simple in palette but genuinely playful in execution, it's a rug with real movement to it. *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, Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.6 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21313\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":52820364132645,"sku":"ORH21313","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21313.jpg?v=1784544159","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/brown-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21313","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
