Antique Silk Khotan Rug, Origin: East Turkestan – This ancient Khotan rug from East Turkestan features pastel colors and a gently asymmetrical design. Kaleidoscopic flowers mark the center of the rug’s design, clustered amongst swirls of deep blue color and stylish black flourishes. The outline and background of the mat is a rich brick red. Buddhist Khotan designs encompass the rug’s soft colors. The thin, black lines are reminiscent of artistic design after the annexation of the Kingdom of Khotan and the Tibetan takeover of Ligui. This is a remarkable rug that beautifully matches any color of room or furniture imaginable.
