Ground your living space in soft, coastal calm with this hand knotted wool and silk rug, a piece built for interiors that want light and openness. Featuring a tonal palette of ivory and aqua, the design serves as a serene, airy foundation for modern and transitional rooms alike, its herringbone weave giving the surface a gentle texture. Woven by hand with a cotton foundation for added structure, the blend of wool and silk gives this rug a noticeably different hand than an all wool piece and the silk lends a subtle sheen and softness to the pile. Because silk reflects light, the aqua tones here will shift in intensity depending on the angle you view the rug from and the direction of its pile, appearing paler or deeper as you move around the room. 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.

Story 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.
