{"product_id":"gray-handknotted-wool-orh21895","title":"Hand Knotted Wool Rug Gray, Moss Transitional Tibetan 5'2''x8","description":"This transitional Tibetan rug puts a fresh, modern spin on a classic floral design. Showcased here is a heathered gray and moss field crossed by fine ivory vines, with palmettes and small blossoms in turquoise, blush and cream scattered across it. There's no border, so the pattern runs right to the edges and the rug feels open and light. The motifs echo traditional Oushak and Persian garden designs, just more spaced out and relaxed. It's a gray floral area rug that suits both classic and contemporary homes.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'2\"x8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gray, Moss, Ivory, Turquoise, Blush, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21895\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":54317834076453,"sku":"ORH21895","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21895.jpg?v=1793358995","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/gray-handknotted-wool-orh21895","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
