{"product_id":"aqua-handknotted-wool-aor22031","title":"Aqua Taupe 5'1''x7 Modern Tibetan Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Subtle pattern is the quiet strength of this Aqua and Taupe Modern Tibetan, a hand knotted wool Oriental area rug with a sculpted finish. Chevrons and diamonds are cut into the surface and repeat from end to end, lifting out of the dense pile as gentle texture instead of loud color. Soft sage and ivory tones melt together, and notes of aqua and taupe enrich the neutral palette. As daylight moves through the room, the repeated forms turn into patches of shadow and light, so the rug seems to change from morning to evening. Because this handmade rug is hand knotted from wool, the pile feels dense and resilient, and it is friendly to households with pets and kids. Bring it into a living room to add depth without competing with other decor, or give a bedroom floor some calm interest. It also suits a dining room, home office or entryway that needs dimension but not bold color. The effect is calm, tactile and quietly artistic. Choose this modern area rug when you appreciate tonal design, a carved look, and the comfort of wool underfoot.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'1\"x7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Aqua, Taupe, Ivory, 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#: AOR22031\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Tibetan rug weaving reflects a centuries-old tradition in which textiles served both practical and decorative roles. Historic designs drew inspiration from geometric forms, symbolic imagery, mythical creatures, floral elements, and patterns found in the natural world. The tradition entered an important new chapter after 1959, when Tibetan weaving communities expanded into Nepal and India and the craft developed for a broader international market. By the 1970s, Tibetan-style rugs had become increasingly recognized worldwide, with Nepalese artisans playing an important role in preserving and developing established weaving methods. A defining characteristic is the Tibetan knot, a distinctive slit-loop technique used to create a substantial pile with noticeable depth, softness, and texture. Contemporary Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs continue this design heritage through everything from branching florals and symbolic animal motifs to geometric compositions and free-form modern patterns, allowing traditional craftsmanship to adapt naturally to contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68078167163100,"sku":"AOR22031","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A22031.jpg?v=1793951222","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/aqua-handknotted-wool-aor22031","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
