{"product_id":"olivegreen-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor22051","title":"Olive Green 6'1''x8'10'' Modern Sherpa Abstract Hand Knotted Wool Bamboo Silk Oriental Area Rug","description":"Meet the Olive Green modern Sherpa abstract Oriental area rug, a hand knotted wool and bamboo silk design that treats the floor like a canvas. Loose, weathered strokes of gray, tan and charcoal sweep across a pale beige ground, while streaks of slate and soft sage gather toward the edges and give the composition depth. The olive green note ties the quiet palette together, so the whole piece reads as calm, neutral and thoughtfully layered. Every strand is tied by hand, and the blend of wool with bamboo silk lends a gentle sheen that shifts as light moves across the textured pile. Underfoot the surface feels soft and layered, with a distressed character that suits anyone drawn to an abstract look. Place this hand knotted rug beneath a living room seating group to anchor a modern scheme, roll it out in a bedroom for a soft landing at the bedside, or use it in a dining room, an entryway or a home office where a restrained, artful floor adds interest without noise. It is an Oriental rug for people who prefer modern lines over formal pattern, and it settles into a room as a confident, lasting centerpiece.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6'1\"x8'10\"\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: Olive Green\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#: AOR22051\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":68251079508188,"sku":"AOR22051","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A22051.jpg?v=1794475292","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/olivegreen-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-aor22051","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
