{"product_id":"black-abstract-expressionist-lion-wool-viscose-hand-knotted-5-6x8-rug","title":"Black Abstract Expressionist Lion Hand Knotted Wool Viscose Contemporary 5.6x8 Area Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are rugs that command a room — and then there are rugs that own it. This \u003cstrong\u003ehand knotted wool and viscose 5.6x8 area rug\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs firmly in the second category. From a deep charcoal-black field — rich, velvety, alive with the natural texture of hand-spun wool — a charging lion erupts in an explosion of gestural energy unlike anything else in the room. The mane and body lines radiate outward in ivory-white, warm peach-gold, burnt-orange, rust-red, teal-blue, and burgundy — glowing like light against the dark ground, like electricity against a night sky. The lion’s face is luminous ivory-peach at the centre, the eyes fierce and direct, staring forward with an intensity that stops every person who enters the room. No border interrupts the composition. Edge-to-edge abstract expressionist art, woven knot by knot into the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep charcoal-black field is not flat — it has the natural texture and depth of hand-spun wool, the viscose threads woven through the pile adding a cool, natural lustre that makes the glowing gestural lines seem to float above the surface. This is the most dramatic of the three colourways — the dark ground amplifying every line, every colour, every gesture to maximum effect. Crafted at \u003cstrong\u003e80 knots per square inch\u003c\/strong\u003e by master artisans in \u003cstrong\u003eBhadohi, India\u003c\/strong\u003e — the city that has been weaving the world’s finest hand knotted rugs for over 400 years — this piece carries that heritage in every thread.
