Elegantly styled and superbly colored, this sophisticated antique Oriental rug from Khotan features an exquisite low-contrast arabesque. Formal rosettes, arching branches and decorative botanical motifs create a splendid overarching arabesque that decorates the somber bole brown field from edge to edge. Warm copper-colored minor borders that are adorned with articulated botanical motifs and enclosed with narrow guard bands bracket the formal main borders. Graceful vine scrolls and delicate rosettes that mirror the distinguished botanical motifs featured within the field create a formal floral pattern that decorates the distinguished main borders. The earthy low-chroma color scheme is accented with tasteful metallic threading that brings out the subtle details while accenting the rich style and masterful craftsmanship that make antique rugs so alluring.
