Khotan rugs were originally produced in East Turkestan and are interchangeably referred to as Samarkand rugs due to their close proximity to the cultural city center of the same name. This contemporary hand-knotted wool Samarkand rug reflects traditional Central Asian artistry while embracing a contemporary aesthetic. It showcases stylized pomegranate motifs symbolizing prosperity and abundance. These motifs are arranged in a symmetrical, repeating layout, connected by geometric shapes. The soft color palette of beige, blue, and cream enhances the intricate detailing, creating a balanced and elegant look. This timeless pattern adds both cultural significance and visual appeal to the rug, making it a striking addition to any interior space.
