Vintage Khotan Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7005 4'8" × 9'10" $18,000

Vintage Khotan rug from East Turkestan, hand-knotted in wool, reflecting the long-standing Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition of the Silk Road and its cross-cultural blend of Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian references.

The soft beige field is arranged around twin medallions set on the vertical axis, their outlines softened by age and enlivened with small floral rosettes, geometric marks, and crest-like details. The open layout leaves generous breathing room between motifs, so the design feels calm and architectural rather than busy. Muted rose, terracotta, taupe, and brown accents create a warm, earthy palette that reads beautifully in natural light.

A layered border system gives the composition structure, with angular framing, scrolling corner elements, and narrow guard bands that echo the rug’s geometric character. The result is a vintage Khotan rug with an understated presence and enough visual definition to anchor a room, especially in interiors that favor relaxed pattern, collected character, and subtle historical reference.

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