{"product_id":"ivory-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor21700","title":"Ivory Graphite 6x9 Modern Sherpa Hand Knotted Wool Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug","description":"Bring fiery warmth and gallery level contrast to your home with the Ivory and Graphite Modern Sherpa Hand Knotted Wool and Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug. Broad brushstrokes in rust, terracotta, deep graphite and sunny golden yellow sweep across a weathered cream ground, giving the floor the energy of a contemporary canvas. Ivory and graphite anchor the palette with architectural clarity, while the warm tones glow like late afternoon sun and keep the whole composition lively, balanced and inviting for years to come. This luxury modern rug is hand knotted from soft wool blended with shimmering bamboo silk. A hand sheared cut pile lets the silk catch the light against the wool, so the design gains striking depth and a smooth, silky feel. It is the kind of statement rug that makes a living room feel curated, and it is equally at home in a bedroom, dining room, entryway or home office. Handmade by skilled artisans, it pairs an abstract, expressive design with the comfort of a plush surface, so your room looks as good as it feels every single day.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6x9\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: Ivory, Graphite, Rust, Gold, Rose, Multi\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#: AOR21700\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":67703773626588,"sku":"AOR21700","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21700.jpg?v=1791970091","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor21700","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
