{"product_id":"gray-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor22075","title":"Gray Ivory 8'2''x9'6'' Modern Tibetan Hand Knotted Wool Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug","description":"Graphic, tactile and effortlessly modern, this Gray Ivory Modern Tibetan Hand Knotted Wool Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug turns simple oval rings into a striking surface. Silver gray and black rings repeat across a taupe brown ground, and where they overlap they form a lattice in which dark rings melt into lighter ivory ones. Hand knotted by skilled artisans from wool and bamboo silk, the rug plays matte against shine: the bamboo silk adds a soft shimmer while the wool stays quiet and understated. The textured pile has a soft hand that invites bare feet, and the deep neutral tones keep the look calm even though the pattern is bold. Place it in a living room to ground the seating area, in a bedroom for a modern retreat, or in a dining room, entryway or home office that benefits from graphic interest. A Tibetan area rug like this gives contemporary interiors depth, texture and a confident sense of design, and it rewards a closer look every time the light shifts. Subtle in color but bold in pattern, it fits homes that favor a graphic, grown up look.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'2\"x9'6\"\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: Gray, Ivory, Beige, Brown\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#: AOR22075\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":68253979214044,"sku":"AOR22075","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A22075.jpg?v=1794481094","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/gray-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor22075","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
