Khotan Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB6335 4'4" × 8'4" $14,000

This vintage Khotan rug, woven in East Turkestan circa 1935, belongs to the storied Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition of the Silk Road. Hand-knotted in wool, it carries the relaxed elegance of a well-preserved antique carpet while remaining visually crisp and balanced.

The composition is built around an open warm tan field, where concentric medallions, floral rosettes, and small geometric accents are arranged with deliberate symmetry. Black corner brackets and fine linear outlines add structure, while the softened motifs keep the design airy rather than dense. The result is a rug that feels calm, collected, and quietly decorative.

A broad border of repeating blossoms, leaf forms, and stylized roundels frames the interior with just enough contrast to define the layout. Muted brick red, light beige, warm taupe, and dark brown tones settle into the wool beautifully, giving the piece a mellow patina. This vintage floral Khotan carpet brings warmth and character to rooms that favor layered, design-conscious restraint.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
