Vintage Khotan Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7010 5'6" × 11'4" $14,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Khotan rug from East Turkestan brings a restrained, time-softened palette to a classic Samarkand tradition. Its warm taupe field is organized around a round central medallion, giving the piece a calm, architectural presence suited to both collected and contemporary interiors.

Across the open ground, stylized floral sprays, geometric cartouche forms, and mirrored botanical motifs create a disciplined all-over rhythm. The corner spandrels and the repeated motifs at the top and bottom add symmetry, while the ivory and brown drawing keeps the design crisp against the muted ground.

A layered border system frames the composition, from the floral outer band to the darker inner guard with small repeating forms, reinforcing the rug’s balance and clear structure. The result is decorative without feeling busy, and the taupe, beige, and warm tan tones make it an easy choice for elegant living rooms, studies, or softly modern schemes. Its gently faded finish enhances the vintage character without diminishing the clarity of the pattern, and the refined hand-knotted wool weave adds warmth and tactility.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
