An earthy neutral palette defines this hand-knotted modern rug. Seen here are subtle tones of beige, taupe, gray, brown, and slate blended into a painterly abstract grid pattern. Crafted entirely from 100% bamboo silk, the low, dense pile has a remarkably smooth texture and a luminous sheen that responds to changing light. This Tibetan Sherpa bamboo silk rug is soft, smooth, and made for years of use.
Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.
Construction: Hand-knotted from pure bamboo silk, selected for its natural luster and the multi-dimensional sheen it brings to the pile.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to protect the silk fibers' sheen.

Story Behind the Art :For centuries Tibetans have woven rugs for both functional and decorative purposes drawing inspiration from geometric motifs auspicious symbols mythical creatures and natural imagery to create designs rich in color and meaning. The craft underwent a pivotal transformation after 1959 as the Tibetan diaspora spread across Nepal and India sparking a commercial revival of rug weaving. By the 1970s Tibetan rugs had gained international prominence with Nepalese artisansÑtrained alongside Tibetan refugeesÑbecoming central to sustaining and evolving the tradition.
