{"product_id":"lime-handknotted-bamboosilk-orh20961","title":"5'9''x8'10'' Hand Knotted Bamboo Silk Lime, Navy Sherpa Transitional Rug","description":"Blending traditional Sherpa weave elements with contemporary abstract expressionism, this hand-knotted transitional rug layers faint geometric fretwork borders under dramatic, painterly color washes. Artisan weavers have knoted lustrous bamboo silk over a sturdy cotton warp, blending vibrant tones of lime green, navy blue, coral, aqua, and gold into a shimmering multi-colored composition. The smooth bamboo silk pile catches light from different angles, creating a dynamic surface that reads like a piece of modern floor art. \n*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. We'd recommend watching the video below for a truer sense of the palette.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kalaty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'9\"x8'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Bamboo Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Lime, Navy, Coral, Gold, Aqua, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH20961\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art :For generations, rug weaving has played an essential role in Tibetan culture, serving both practical needs and artistic expression. Traditional Tibetan rugs draw from a rich visual language that includes geometric arrangements, symbolic motifs, mythical figures, and elements inspired by the natural world, all woven together to convey meaning, protection, and harmony. A major turning point occurred after 1959, when the Tibetan diaspora settled across Nepal and India, leading to a renewed and expanded approach to rug making. This period marked the beginning of a commercial revival, and by the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had achieved global recognition. Nepalese craftsmen, working closely with Tibetan refugees, became instrumental in preserving the techniques while refining production and design. One of the defining features of these rugs is the Tibetan knot, a distinctive slit-loop method that creates a plush, dense pile with exceptional texture and softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs encompass a wide spectrum of styles, ranging from updated interpretations of traditional imagery—such as floral branches and symbolic animals—to contemporary abstract designs that seamlessly connect centuries-old heritage with modern aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53583190688037,"sku":"ORH20961","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20961_20shopify_20orh.jpg?v=1786601213","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/lime-handknotted-bamboosilk-orh20961","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
