{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor21765","title":"Beige Blue 9'1''x11'8'' Modern Sherpa Hand Knotted Wool Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug","description":"Think of a painter dragging a dry brush across canvas and you have the spirit of this beige and blue modern Sherpa Oriental area rug, hand knotted in wool and bamboo silk. Navy, mauve and rose scratch their way over a cream ground in a loose crosshatch, and flickers of gold and gray break the lines apart to add a soft, layered depth. Big pauses of unmarked cream give the whole piece an airy, uncluttered feel. The pile reads as pixelated and tactile, much like brushstrokes dried in paint, while the bamboo silk contributes a mild glow that changes through the day. It feels gentle underfoot and suits light, everyday use. When it needs attention, use the vacuum on its lowest suction and keep the beater bar disengaged. A handmade rug with this much color can anchor a living room, soften a bedroom, brighten a dining room, greet guests in an entryway or inspire a home office. Navy and mauve find natural partners in creams, grays and blush pinks. This modern wool and bamboo silk rug is made for those who adore abstract design.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 9'1\"x11'8\"\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: Beige, Blue, Navy, Rose, Green\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#: AOR21765\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":68015085289692,"sku":"AOR21765","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21765.jpg?v=1793618727","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor21765","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
