- Low stock - 1 item left
Sweeping vertical botanical fronds move across this hand-knotted Tibetan rug, with soft beige leaf motifs set against a subtle moss green background. Artisans hand-tie pure wool throughout, and the lush, velvety pile brings a tone-on-tone contrast that keeps the design calm rather than busy, well suited to a living room or bedroom.
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 wool, chosen for its lush, velvety pile and its ability to hold the vertical botanical frond pattern.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically for even wear. Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the tone-on-tone contrast.

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.
