Vintage Khotan Floral Coral Hand-Knotted Silk Rug BB6065 5'2" × 12'0" $9,000

This vintage Samarkand (Khotan) rug from East Turkestan is hand-knotted in silk, reflecting the refined textile tradition of the Silk Road.

The composition is organized around a vertical floral axis: rosettes, crest-like blossoms, and medallion forms rise through a softly worn field, while a restrained border keeps the layout open. The palette blends coral, blush, light blue, sage green, warm beige, and touches of ivory, giving the rug a painterly, time-softened look. Abrash and fading blur the outlines just enough to make the design feel relaxed rather than rigid.

Because the pattern reads clearly from a distance but never feels heavy, the rug works well in layered interiors, grounding seating areas, bedrooms, or smaller hallways with quiet color and antique character. Its hand-knotted silk construction adds a subtle luster and a tactile finish that distinguishes it among vintage floral rugs and Samarkand carpets, while lending a nuanced decorative note that suits both modern and traditional settings.
