{"product_id":"ivory-handknotted-wool-silk-cl20895","title":"Celeste Rugs 8' x 10'3\" Hand Knotted Tibetan Transitional Ivory and Beige Wool and Silk Area Rug","description":"A delicate all-over vine pattern runs beneath detailed botanical borders on this hand-knotted rug, woven from a balanced blend of natural wool and reflective silk threads. Artisans hand-tie every knot, and the silk content catches light in subtle, shifting highlights that give the surface an embossed, dimensional character rather than a flat one, all within a soft ivory and beige palette.\n\nIndividually 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.\n\n¥ Construction: Hand-knotted from a blend of wool and silk, chosen for the way silk's reflective quality highlights the embossed vine pattern.\n\n¥ Care \u0026amp; Maintenance: Vacuum gently using low suction only, since silk fibers are more delicate than wool and can be damaged by a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and keep the rug out of direct sunlight to protect the silk's sheen. Professional cleaning is recommended for anything beyond routine vacuuming.\n\n\nStory 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.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 8x10'3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Ivory, Beige\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#: CL20895\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celeste Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572649394491,"sku":"CL20895","price":2399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/2086\/9435\/files\/A20895_20wayfair.jpg?v=1787303702","url":"https:\/\/celesterugs.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-wool-silk-cl20895","provider":"Celeste Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
