This 4'8" x 6'7" hand knotted Tibetan wool rug features a composed taupe field framed by a classic Greek key border, creating an architectural and balanced aesthetic. Crafted in wool with a medium cut pile over a cotton foundation, the surface feels substantial underfoot while maintaining refined clarity.
Drawing from ancient Greek and Central Asian symbolism—where the continuous key motif represents unity and continuity—the design is interpreted through the Tibetan weaving tradition, known for restraint and open space. Subtle brown and taupe variations add depth to the field, while delicate muted mint accents near the corners introduce understated contrast.
Perfect for entryways, studies, bedrooms, or layered living room arrangements, this rug meets demand for neutral wool area rug, taupe oriental rug, and Greek key border rug USA, offering timeless elegance without ornate complexity.

Story Behind the Art: For centuries, Tibetan rugs were woven for both functional and decorative purposes, incorporating geometric motifs, auspicious symbols, mythical creatures, and natural imagery. The craft evolved significantly after 1959 when Tibetan artisans relocated to Nepal and India, sparking a revival in commercial rug weaving.
By the 1970s, Tibetan rugs gained international recognition. Their defining feature, the Tibetan knot, is a slit-loop technique that produces exceptional pile depth and softness. Today, Tibetan and Indo-Tibetan rugs range from traditional branching florals and snow lions to modern abstract interpretations.
