{"product_id":"green-handknotted-tibetan-aor21115","title":"Green, Coral 4'3''x7'6'' Tibetan Transitional Tufenkian Swiss Wash Silky Sheen Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Inspired by the craftsmanship associated with Tufenkian designs, this hand knotted wool rug features a green field accented with coral and soft neutral tones arranged in a transitional composition that merges geometric precision with organic flow, while the Swiss wash finish lends the wool a silky sheen and a slightly aged character that enhances its visual depth. The interplay of colors creates a layered effect, where each motif feels integrated into the overall design rather than standing apart, and the plush wool pile offers both comfort and resilience. The cotton foundation ensures structural strength, allowing the rug to withstand regular use while maintaining its refined appearance, making it a compelling piece for spaces that seek a balance between artisanal tradition and contemporary design aesthetics.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 4'3\"x7'6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Green, Coral, Peach, Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Nepal\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#: AOR21115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art :Tibetan rug weaving has a long and meaningful history, rooted in a tradition where textiles were created for both practical use and symbolic expression, often incorporating geometric patterns, auspicious emblems, mythical figures, and elements drawn from the natural world to produce designs rich in cultural significance. A major turning point in this craft occurred after 1959, when the Tibetan diaspora expanded into Nepal and India, leading to a revival and transformation of rug weaving as both a cultural practice and a commercial industry. By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs had gained recognition in international markets, with Nepalese artisans—many trained alongside Tibetan weavers—playing a crucial role in preserving and advancing the tradition. One of the defining characteristics of these rugs is the distinctive Tibetan knot, a slit-loop technique that creates a uniquely dense, textured pile known for its softness and durability. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs reflect a dynamic blend of heritage and innovation, ranging from reinterpretations of traditional motifs such as branching florals and symbolic creatures like snow lions, to more contemporary, free-form designs that adapt the craft to modern tastes while maintaining its cultural roots and artisanal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49903337963740,"sku":"AOR21115","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21115_20aor.jpg?v=1776061151","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/green-handknotted-tibetan-aor21115","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
