{"product_id":"olivegreen-handknotted-bamboosilk-aor22066","title":"Olive Green Ivory 6x8'10'' Modern Sherpa Hand Knotted Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug","description":"Meet a modern Sherpa Oriental area rug that treats the floor like a canvas. This hand knotted bamboo silk rug pairs an open ivory ground with olive green and long streaks of charcoal and copper that drift across the surface like brushed ink, fading in and out so the pale space between each mark becomes part of the picture. The abstract composition feels artful without ever feeling crowded, which makes it a natural fit for anyone drawn to a light, gallery-inspired interior. Craftsmanship shows in every detail. Fine bamboo silk fibers are knotted by hand into a smooth, lustrous pile that carries a soft shimmer, and the silky surface seems to change as daylight moves across the room. Run a hand over it and the texture feels cool, fine and gentle underfoot. Use this living room rug to brighten a sunlit lounge, soften a bedroom, anchor a dining room, or give an entryway a quiet burst of color and texture. Airy, modern and quietly luminous, it is a handmade Oriental rug that brings artistry and calm to any space it touches.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6x8'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Bamboo Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Olive Green, Ivory, Brown, Maroon, 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#: AOR22066\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":68251083636956,"sku":"AOR22066","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A22066.jpg?v=1794475327","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/olivegreen-handknotted-bamboosilk-aor22066","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
