Captivating Antique East Turkestan Khotan Rug, Country of origin: East Turkestan, Circa date: 1900
This antique Khotan rug from East Turkestan brings together Central Asian artistry and Chinese-inspired symbolism. The design highlights three blue medallions, each filled with pomegranates and lotus blossoms, icons of abundance and renewal. These medallions rest on a deep red field, creating strong visual contrast.
A wide floral border wraps around the center, adding structure and flow to the composition. Rosettes, geometric blooms, and surrounding bands guide the eye across the design while reinforcing its balanced layout. Buyers who appreciate this look may also want to explore Chinese rugs and floral rugs.
Woven over a century ago in the Khotan region, this rug reflects the rich textile traditions that once thrived along the Silk Road. Its materials were dyed using natural pigments, which have matured into a warm, earthy palette of red, ivory, blue, and brown. For more help with placement, see our rug size guide.
