Retro-chic gridwork gets a modern architectural treatment in this hand-knotted Tibetan Art Deco rug, rooted in the geometric movements of the early 20th century. Hand-tied from ultra-soft New Zealand wool, the plush, dense pile adds real tactile depth to every square and curve in the pattern, and an antique finish and silky sheen bring a sophisticated, earthy balance to the seafoam and brown palette, striking a note between mid-century style and a more contemporary look.
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-tied from ultra-soft New Zealand wool, finished with an antique wash and silky sheen that adds depth to the geometric pattern.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar, which can be especially damaging to a rug with an antique finish. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear. Professional cleaning is strongly recommended to protect the antique wash and silky 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. 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.
