About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool, this 5x11 antique khotan rug originating from 1910-1920 in East Turkestan is a particularly special find among Khotan rugs of this or any period. On the Design Admirers of the craft may appreciate this piece not just for its colors and the exemplary execution of Khotan-favored patterns, but for the versatile size as few such rugs are known of this provenance. The patterns are an interpretation of the pomegranate pattern, a particularly celebrated floral motif in the Khotan tradition, often regarded as a symbol of fertility and abundance. The gray field features brown, pink and cream tones underscore the geometric patterns. Keen eyes for detail will note the repeat of the geometric patterns which is often associated with the many beauties of life in Khotan, Samarkand, and East Turkestani rugs cultures. Altogether it’s an antique piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture. The attention to detail in scale, texture and movement of color is matched only by its equally rare condition. This is an exemplary traditional piece, with more of a vibrancy than many found in the modern day. Condition: This antique Khotan rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage—another uncommon find in its provenance for both designers and collectors alike.
