Khotan Vintage Floral Dusty Rose Hand-Knotted Silk Rug BB8750 6'6" × 11'6" $28,000

This vintage hand-knotted silk Khotan rug from East Turkestan belongs to the storied Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition. Its design reflects the region’s Silk Road character, where Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences were translated into highly decorative carpets for refined interiors.

The field is set with an allover botanical-and-geometric repeat: pomegranate-tree forms, rosettes, and stylized flowering branches unfold across a dusty rose ground with burgundy depth. Pale ivory, soft peach, and powder blue accents soften the pattern, giving the composition a measured rhythm rather than a single focal medallion. The result is graphic yet delicate, with a distinctly floral presence.

A layered border system adds definition, with a Greek key guard, a floral band, and a broader scrollwork frame in blue and rose tones. The effect is tailored and balanced, making this vintage floral rug especially appealing in rooms that call for pattern, color, and the quiet formality of East Turkestan weaving.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
