{"product_id":"seafoam-handknotted-wool-orh21308","title":"8x10 Hand Knotted Wool Seafoam, Gray Premium Tibetan Transitional Tibetano Designer Rug","description":"Hand knotted in wool, this Tibetan rug lays out a grid of ivory rosettes across a soft seafoam field, each one linked to the next by thin trellis lines that keep the whole pattern feeling connected. That trellis and rosette combination is a classic Ottoman and Central Asian layout, one that's shown up in weavings for centuries, and the pale seafoam and gray palette here gives it a much softer, more contemporary read. A gray border with a repeating scroll motif frames the field, punctuated by soft floral clusters at the corners that echo the rosettes inside without competing with them. Cream accents thread through both the field and border, tying the two together and keeping the overall palette calm. Wool holds the fine detail in each rosette well, letting the small dotted centers and scalloped petal edges read clearly even from a distance. It's a rug that leans traditional in its bones but reads soft and current thanks entirely to how the color story stays throughout. *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.\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Seafoam, Gray, Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.3 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21308\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":52820363313445,"sku":"ORH21308","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21308.jpg?v=1784544138","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/seafoam-handknotted-wool-orh21308","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
