Khotan Vintage Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Pomegranate Design BB8953 5'9" × 11'3" $14,000

This vintage Khotan rug from East Turkestan belongs to the Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition, and its hand-knotted wool construction gives it the tactile depth prized in collector-grade carpets. Its wool pile, worked by hand, has the relaxed texture and durability associated with vintage East Turkestan rugs.

The field is organized as a vertical lattice of pomegranate-inspired roundels, floral nodes, and geometric links in warm taupe, light beige, and dark brown. Rather than a single medallion, the design repeats in stacked bands, creating a tribal rhythm that feels structured but never rigid. Its softly worn surface lends the pattern a time-softened clarity.

A pale border with scrolling motifs and small symbolic accents frames the composition, while narrower guard stripes sharpen the edges. The contrast between the lighter surround and the darker center makes the rug easy to place in traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary rooms, where its calm palette can anchor the arrangement without overpowering it and bring subtle pattern without visual heaviness.

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.
