{"product_id":"lightgold-handknotted-oushak-aor20527","title":"Light Gold, Blue 8'11''x11'11'' Oushak Arts and Crafts Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Rooted in the decorative principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, this 9x12 hand-knotted wool rug features a medium pile height on a sturdy cotton foundation, offering a thoughtful balance of artisanal quality and long-term durability. The composition is defined by a structured yet organic layout, organized around a central floral axis with repeating botanical motifs rendered in a symmetrical, architectural rhythm. A light gold field provides a warm, luminous backdrop that allows the intricate detailing to unfold clearly across the surface. Stylized floral medallions, palmettes, and scrolling vine elements are articulated in layered tones of blue and ivory, while accents of rose and rust add warmth and visual interest. Subtle gray undertones ground the palette, preventing the design from appearing overly ornate and reinforcing its handcrafted character. A coordinated border frames the rug with complementary floral and geometric motifs, visually anchoring the design. Elegant yet inviting, this rug works beautifully in living rooms, dining spaces, studies, or bedrooms, where a warm palette and classic Arts and Crafts styling can bring cohesion and quiet sophistication.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8'11\"x11'11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Light Gold, Blue, Ivory, Rose, Rust, Gray, 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#: AOR20527\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against mass-produced, machine-made goods, advocating instead for quality, authenticity, and the beauty of handcrafted design. Led by influential figures such as William Morris, the movement championed the return to traditional craftsmanship and emphasized designs inspired by the natural world. Rugs from this tradition feature stylized interpretations of flowers, foliage, fruit, and organic forms, arranged in bold yet harmonious patterns that celebrate handwork and material integrity. Over time, Arts and Crafts rugs evolved to include a wide range of expressions, from flowing Art Nouveau designs with curvilinear lines to Mission-style geometry, Native American–influenced patterns, American Prairie aesthetics, and Caucasian-inspired motifs. United by their emphasis on nature, craftsmanship, and thoughtful color use, Arts and Crafts rugs remain enduringly popular for their warmth, character, and timeless decorative appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47436201230556,"sku":"AOR20527","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A20527_a62ebdc6-3c03-420d-9e24-56695e45069f.jpg?v=1768904136","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/lightgold-handknotted-oushak-aor20527","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
