Antique Khotan Rug 11' x 7'10"

Size: 11 x 7.10 ft.

Origin: East Turkestan

Circa: 1950s

Material: Pure Wool

This antique East Turkestan Khotan rug showcases a captivating geometric design centered 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 unique. Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects. 

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. A rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
