About the Item

Antique Khotan rugs are exquisite handwoven textiles originating from the ancient city of Khotan, located along the famous Silk Road in what is now the Xinjiang region of western China. These rugs have a rich history dating back centuries and are known for their distinct artistic style and cultural significance. Khotan rugs are renowned for their intricate and elegant designs. They often feature a combination of geometric motifs, floral patterns, and stylized medallions. These designs are inspired by the diverse cultural influences from the Silk Road trade, incorporating elements from Persia, Central Asia, and China. These rugs are handwoven using high-quality materials such as locally-sourced wool or sometimes silk, resulting in a lustrous finish. The pile of the rug is usually thin, giving them a finely woven texture suitable for both floor covering and wall hanging.Antique Khotan rugs come in various sizes, ranging from small prayer rugs to larger room-sized carpets. Common shapes include rectangular and square, although you may find some circular or runner-style rugs as well. Khotan rugs have played a vital role in the cultural heritage of the region. They were not only used as floor coverings but also served as a form of art and cultural expression. Many of these rugs were created as dowry pieces, cherished heirlooms, or offered as gifts to esteemed guests. Due to their historical importance and exceptional craftsmanship, antique Khotan rugs have become highly sought-after by collectors and rug enthusiasts worldwide. As a result, authentic antique pieces can command considerable value in the market. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel features this khotan piece in the kang double square format traditional with oasis town rugs that shows a mauve field with an allover offset flower pattern, framed by a rust main border with chrysanthemum-liker stemmed flowers. The foundation is cotton, with a moderate weave,.
