This gorgeous antique East Turkistan Khotan wool rug radiates timeless elegance with its vivid rose-pink field, a distinctive and rare palette for traditional Khotan weavings. The layout features a balanced geometric design centred around a medallion flanked by four octagonal guls, each containing subtle lattice or cross motifs. Scattered floral and cloud-like forms lend a delicate harmony, blending Chinese and Central Asian design influences characteristic of Khotan artistry.
The borders are layered with angular meanders, floral rosettes, and protective motifs, executed in muted tones of beige, charcoal, and soft lavender, which beautifully contrast with the vibrant ground. Hand-knotted in wool with a slightly worn patina, this rug reflects both age and artisanal heritage, making it an exceptional decorative statement and a prized piece for collectors of Silk Road textiles.
Authentic vintage and antique Khotan rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
