Vintage Khotan Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB8822 6'8" × 12'9" $22,000

This vintage Khotan hand-knotted wool carpet from East Turkestan, circa 1945, reflects the Samarkand weaving tradition that fused Central Asian structure with Persian and Chinese-inspired ornament. Worked in a warm tan ground, it carries the softened patina and measured symmetry that make vintage Khotan rugs so appealing to designers.

The composition is built around a vertical sequence of stepped diamond medallions, each outlined with crisp geometry and filled with small floral details. Around them, scattered blossoms and tiny rosettes ease the formality of the layout, while the layered borders add rhythm through Greek-key-like scrolls, flowering bands, and angular lattice elements. The effect is orderly, yet relaxed.

Muted beige, taupe, dusty pink, and touches of rust create a gentle palette that sits comfortably in both traditional and eclectic rooms. With its low-contrast field and intricate border hierarchy, this vintage Samarkand and Khotan rug brings pattern without heaviness, offering a refined foundation for layered interiors.
