{"product_id":"teal-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-orh21769","title":"Hand Knotted Wool \u0026 Bamboo Silk Rug Teal, Orange Modern Sherpa 8x10","description":"Made from wool and bamboo silk, our modern Sherpa rug lights up a charcoal field with sparks of orange, aqua and gold. Brushed lines of gray and cream cross the surface in an abstract, weathered pattern, and the edges ripple softly for a freeform look. The darker charcoal ground keeps the bright flecks from feeling loud. Up close the colors break into tiny blocks that look like pixels, and the hand-knotted pile feels textured and layered with a gentle sheen. It is best suited to gentle everyday use, and vacuuming on a low setting without a beater bar keeps it looking sharp. Charcoal pairs easily with whites, grays and warm metallics. A modern area rug with a bold, painterly look, it suits anyone who likes art underfoot.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Bamboo Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Teal, Orange, Gray, Aqua, Taupe, Multi\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#: ORH21769\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":54373357093157,"sku":"ORH21769","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21769.jpg?v=1793618325","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/teal-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-orh21769","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
