This Charming antique Khotan rug from East Turkestan is characterized by a simple, tribal-inspired design, as well as a particularly beautiful patina.
Antique Khotan Rug, Origin: East Turkestan, Circa: 1900’s – Here is a beautiful antique Oriental rug – a Khotan woven by the great rug makers of East Turkestan. This charming antique rug is primarily characterized by its enduring tribal beauty, the depth of which is enhanced by a beautiful patina that runs throughout the entire piece. The three large, round medallions that appear one on top of the next in the narrow field of this Khotan are especially notable for their eye-catching asymmetry, as well as for the subtle, understated detail work that occurs in each one. Further, the field is peppered with smaller tribal symbols, both floral and geometric. These smaller figured are woven in a darker tone than the secondary layer of detail, which is practically ephemeral in comparison. A delightful coming together of age and traditional, tribal elements of design make this antique Khotan from East Turkestan an especially fascinating – and attractive – antique rug.
