{"product_id":"ivory-handknotted-wool-orh20834","title":"12x14'9'' Hand Knotted Wool Ivory, Khaki Indo Tibetan Transitional Botanical Rug","description":"Transform your living space into a serene sanctuary with this exquisite blend of modern minimalism and historic artistry. Masterfully hand-knotted in the honored Indo-Tibetan tradition using premium, velvety wool over a durable cotton warp, this expansive 12' x 14'9\" area rug radiates elegance. A soft, luminous ivory ground serves as the quiet backdrop for an all-over botanical vine-and-leaf motif, delicately rendered in subtle Khaki, warm beige, and understated neutral tones. The open, borderless design creates a sens of fluid movement, making it an effortless anchor for spacious living rooms, master suites, or refined dining halls. Exceptionally soft and dense underfoot, this transitional masterpiece offers a subtle textural richness that only elevates the interiors. Note: The color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade reads from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order. If you're still unsure, feel free to give us a call and we're happy to walk you through it.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 12x14'9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Ivory, Khaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\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#: ORH20834\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. Indo Tibetan rugs refer to pieces made using this same Tibetan knotting technique but woven by artisans in India, carrying the tradition forward outside of Nepal and Tibet itself. 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":52836088348965,"sku":"ORH20834","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20834_20ebay.jpg?v=1784803257","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-wool-orh20834","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
