{"product_id":"gray-handloomed-wool-bamboosilk-aor21444","title":"Gray Taupe 7'10''x10'2'' Transitional Tibetan Hand Loomed Wool Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug","description":"This hand-loomed wool and bamboo silk rug reinterprets classic transitional scrollwork through a modern, distressed lens, combining soft texture with a lustrous sheen engineered for busy households. Underfoot it feels plush and inviting, yet it's tough enough to handle energetic pets, kids, and heavy foot traffic without missing a beat. A weathered scroll trellis pattern flows across the surface, shifting from bold, well-defined motifs on one side to a softer, faded expression on the other, all rendered in muted gray and taupe. It's a rug that brings graphic personality to any room while staying wonderfully easy to live with.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 7'10\"x10'2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Kalaty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Loomed Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Bamboo Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gray, Taupe\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#: AOR21444\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":67614636540124,"sku":"AOR21444","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21444_20shopify_20aor.jpg?v=1790855960","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/gray-handloomed-wool-bamboosilk-aor21444","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
