{"product_id":"moss-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21312","title":"8x10 Hand Knotted Wool \u0026 Pure Silk Moss, Premium Tibetan Modern \u0026 Contemporay Tibetano Designer Rug","description":"Hand knotted from wool and pure silk, this Tibetan rug traces a giant blooming rose across the entire field in continuous cream outlines, the kind of scale that turns a single flower into pure line and shape. Petals overlap and curl into each other with no gaps between them, so the moss brown ground only shows through the outlines. Silk gives those cream lines their crisp definition, letting them stand out sharply against the flatter wool ground without needing a second color to separate the two. That kind of oversized floral graphic, more illustration than pattern, is where a lot of premium Tibetan production has moved in recent years, taking a familiar motif and stripping it down to its outline. There's nothing fussy about the composition since everything stays in that single moss and cream palette. It's a rug built around one confident gesture and which gives real presence. *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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Pure Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Moss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.6 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21312\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":52820364034341,"sku":"ORH21312","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21312.jpg?v=1784544155","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/moss-handknotted-wool-puresilk-orh21312","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
