The effect is painterly, closer to a brushed panel than a woven pattern, which makes it a good option if you want texture and movement without florals or medallions. Wool and bamboo silk together give the field its shifting luminosity, the silk holding the light and the wool holding the ground. Woven in the Sherpa Tibetan manner at eight by nearly ten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Blot spills immediately, as a pale, undefined field shows marks clearly, and use a professional cleaner rather than treating stains at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction Hand-knotted in wool and bamboo silk using the Sherpa Tibetan technique. The distressed effect comes from the placement of the two fibers and from shifts in yarn color rather than from any applied wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x9'11\"\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: Ivory, Silver, Gray, Slate, Turquoise, Taupe, 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#: CL21355\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStory 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 refugees becoming 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celeste Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51568600613179,"sku":"CL21355","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/2086\/9435\/files\/A21355_20shopify_20cl.jpg?v=1787209549","url":"https:\/\/celesterugs.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-wool-bamboosilk-cl21355","provider":"Celeste Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
