This antique East Turkestan Khotan rug showcases a captivating geometric design centred around concentric diamond medallions that radiate outward in a rhythmic, almost hypnotic formation. Woven in a rich palette of earthy tones—burnt orange, ochre, muted rose, and deep indigo—it features intricate small-scale floral motifs and cross-hatch patterns meticulously aligned within each band. The rug's symmetry and stylised repetition are hallmarks of the Khotan weaving tradition, blending Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences. Its broad borders, filled with alternating rosettes and angular motifs, frame the dynamic field with a sense of balance and ornate refinement, making it a striking example of 19th and 20th-century craftsmanship from the oasis towns of the Silk Road.
Authentic vintage and antique Khotan rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind. Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. A rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
Our rugs are professionally cleaned.

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
Thanks for the seamless buying. Great rug.
