Vintage Khotan Floral Classic Taupe With Dusty Pink Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB7444 5'6" × 12'7" $23,000

This vintage Khotan rug from East Turkestan is a hand-knotted wool carpet rooted in the Silk Road weaving tradition. Its long, balanced format and softly worn wool pile reflect the restrained elegance associated with classic Samarkand and Khotan rugs, where ornament is handled with poise.

A warm taupe field provides a calm ground for an allover botanical trellis worked in dusty pink and muted brown. The floral forms are delicately spaced rather than densely packed, creating a relaxed rhythm that feels refined and quietly decorative. Age has lowered the contrast, letting the pattern emerge gradually across the surface.

A narrow rose-toned inner border with simple fretwork gives the composition structure, while the outer guard border adds small floral notes that echo the field. The result is a vintage floral rug with a low-key, versatile presence, well suited to traditional, transitional, or layered interiors that call for pattern without visual weight. It brings an understated historical note to an entryway, study, or layered living room.

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.
