Khotan Vintage Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6449 8'1" × 16'3" $43,000

This vintage Khotan rug, woven in East Turkestan circa 1950, reflects the region’s Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition in hand-knotted wool. Its long, rectilinear layout and softly worn surface give the piece a graceful, collected presence suited to both formal and relaxed interiors.

The composition is defined by an open warm taupe field organized around three faded medallions, each with its own quiet character. Scattered floral rosettes, small geometric devices, and lightly drawn botanical forms create gentle movement across the center without disturbing the rug’s calm, airy balance. The pattern is present but restrained, allowing the age-softened abrashed wool to read as part of the design.

Along the perimeter, a sequence of borders adds structure through hooked, scrolling, and lattice-inspired motifs in beige, sand, and brown. The contrast remains subtle, so the rug feels tonal rather than graphic, with a relaxed formality that anchors a room beautifully. It is an elegant choice for interiors seeking antique character, botanical detail, and the understated sophistication of a vintage Khotan rug.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
