{"product_id":"ivory-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-orh21350","title":"8'3''x9'9'' Hand Knotted Wool \u0026 Bamboo Silk Ivory, Tan Tibetan Traditional Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eWoven from a luxurious wool and bamboo silk blend, this Tibetan hand-knotted rug showcases an allover floral trellis pattern in soft ivory and tan, with the silk lending a subtle, shifting sheen to the motifs that makes them shine as you move across the rug. Its tonal, understated palette makes it remarkably versatile, equally at home in a serene minimalist space or layered into a room full of color and texture elsewhere. It combines the splendour of hand craftsmanship with the beauty of a refined, low-contrast piece. *Note: This rug was photographed under studio lighting, which means the colors on screen may appear a little more vibrant than they do in person.

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":53626760003877,"sku":"ORH21350","price":2399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21350_20shopify_20orh.jpg?v=1787208878","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-orh21350","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
