Celeste Rugs 8'3''x9'9'' Hand Knotted Tibetan Traditional Ivory, Tan Wool & Bamboo Silk Area Rug

An allover floral trellis in soft ivory and tan, tonal enough that the pattern registers as texture first and design second. The bamboo silk worked into the motifs gives them a shifting sheen against the matte wool ground, so the trellis appears and recedes as you move across the room. Low-contrast rugs like this are useful, sitting comfortably in a spare, quiet room or underneath one that already has plenty of color. Hand-knotted in the Tibetan tradition, which accounts for the density underfoot.

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.

Care Vacuum with suction only to protect the silk motifs, and blot spills at once, as pale ivory offers no camouflage. Leave deeper cleaning to a professional rather than wet-cleaning at home.

Construction Hand-knotted in wool and bamboo silk using the Tibetan technique. The silk is reserved for the trellis motifs and the wool for the ground, so the contrast is one of light rather than color.

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. Distinctive for their unique slit-loop technique known as the Tibetan knot, these rugs possess a pile of remarkable depth, texture, and softness. Today, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indo-Tibetan rugs range from reimagined traditional motifs, such as branching florals and snow lions, to modern, free-form patterns that bridge heritage with contemporary design.
