{"product_id":"slate-handknotted-bamboosilk-orh21889","title":"Hand Knotted Bamboo Silk Rug Slate, Gray Modern Tibetan 5'10''x8'9''","description":"Slate, silver and soft charcoal give this bamboo silk rug a cool, liquid look. Featured here is a gray honeycomb pattern outlined in pale silver, with the field shifting from light mist to deep slate as the light moves across it. That shading is typical of silk-like fibers, which reflect light differently depending on the direction of the pile. Walk around it and the rug seems to change color right in front of you. This gray hexagon rug brings depth and shine to a modern space while staying calm and understated.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'10\"x8'9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Bamboo Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Slate, Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\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#: ORH21889\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":54317809074469,"sku":"ORH21889","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21889.jpg?v=1793358979","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/slate-handknotted-bamboosilk-orh21889","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
