{"product_id":"gray-handknotted-wool-aor21895","title":"Gray Moss 5'2''x8 Transitional Tibetan Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Soft, airy and quietly modern, this gray and moss transitional Tibetan rug gives a classic floral a fresh point of view. The hand knotted wool field is heathered in gray and moss, crossed by fine ivory vines that carry palmettes and tiny blossoms in cream, turquoise and blush. With no border to contain it, the design extends all the way to the edges, so the whole rug feels open, light and relaxed. The motifs recall traditional Persian garden designs, though they are spaced further apart for a more contemporary rhythm. Hand knotting gives the wool a tactile, artisan-made character that you can see in the finished pile. Anchor a living room seating area with it, lighten a bedroom floor, or set a dining room table above a calm floral backdrop. It also brings quiet interest to a home office or an entryway. Equally at ease with traditional and modern interiors, this gray floral Oriental area rug brings gentle color and lasting style to every room it enters, and it pairs beautifully with simple furnishings. Layer it under a simple coffee table or reading chair and the room softens at once.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'2\"x8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gray, Moss, Ivory, Turquoise, Blush, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR21895\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":67988608549084,"sku":"AOR21895","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21895.jpg?v=1793426917","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/gray-handknotted-wool-aor21895","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
