Antique Khotan Rug, East Turkestan, Circa 1920 — This shabby chic rug, richly colored, artfully detailed, and graceful antique rug displays a deceptively simple pattern that is breathtaking in its flawless symmetry. A broad yellow border frames the traditional rosette pattern of this antique Khotan rug. The dominant color is a sophisticated aged red, masterfully overlaid with a symmetrical lattice of rosettes. The subdued gold of the rosette lattice is the perfect complement to the pastel crimson, and their strict geometry of creates a striking contrast to the expanse of soft red. Hand-woven in the ancient city of Khotan, this lovely antique rug is elegant enough and bold enough to make an impactful statement piece.
