{"product_id":"ivory-handknotted-wool-orh21302","title":"8x10'8'' Hand Knotted Wool Ivory, Beige Premium Tibetan Transitional Tibetano Designer Rug","description":"Hand knotted in wool, this Tibetan rug lays out a light blue scroll pattern across an ivory field, the lines looping and connecting in a lattice. That kind of continuous scrollwork has roots in Central Asian and Chinese textile traditions Tibetan weavers have long drawn from, though here it's rendered with a soft, contemporary palette that keeps it feeling current. A wide taupe and ivory border of angled chevron stripes wraps the field, breaking from the scrollwork's curves with sharp diagonal lines. That contrast, soft looping pattern inside a crisp geometric frame, is a hallmark of transitional design, taking a traditional motif and setting it against something more modern. The color story stays tight throughout, just ivory, beige, and a pale aqua blue, which lets the linework carry the design. *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: 8x10'8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Ivory, Beige, Taupe, Aqua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\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#: ORH21302\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":52820362887461,"sku":"ORH21302","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21302.jpg?v=1784544112","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-wool-orh21302","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
