Khotan Vintage Geometric Light Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6095 5'7" × 10'9" $10,000

This vintage Khotan rug, hand-knotted in East Turkestan circa 1930, reflects the long-lived Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition in fine wool. Its composed layout and softly faded palette give the piece a refined, collectible character, suited to interiors that favor history with restraint.

A light blue field sets a calm stage for a terracotta central medallion and a series of smaller geometric and floral motifs arranged with measured symmetry. Corner spandrels, crest-like forms, and scattered angular devices create a rhythmic, almost architectural cadence, while the open ground keeps the composition airy and readable. The result is decorative, but never crowded.

Framing the interior, a layered border system adds warmth and definition through floral vines, compact geometric details, and tonal accents of dusty pink, warm beige, and brown. The contrast between the crisp border work and the spacious center lends the rug versatility, allowing it to anchor traditional, eclectic, or transitional rooms with quiet distinction.
