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. Antique Khotan rugs traditionally use a soft and muted color palette, which includes shades of ivory, beige, soft blues, apricot, and pale greens. These subdued tones contribute to the rugs' timeless and sophisticated appeal. 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. We feature this piece with a classic Yun-tsao Tou border with a polychrome repeat frames an inner border with filigree sections between oblique reserves enclosing stars, and this, in turn, transitions neatly into a mauve field with nine rows of leaf-like motives. and intervening rosettes.
