Vintage Khotan Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug East Turkestan BB8786 8'10" × 10'6" $28,000

This vintage Khotan hand-knotted wool rug from East Turkestan, circa 1945, reflects the long Samarkand weaving tradition in a format prized for its balance of structure and softness. Woven with the easy elegance of a casual room-size carpet, it brings a restrained decorative presence rooted in Central Asian craftsmanship.

The soft beige field is organized around a large central panel of coral-pink geometric florets and trellis-like forms, repeated with measured rhythm rather than a single medallion. That disciplined lattice gives the composition quiet movement, while the open surrounding ground keeps the design airy and approachable. The effect is orderly, but never rigid.

Layered borders frame the field with confidence: narrow guard stripes, small floral rosettes, and meandering black and blush motifs that add definition without visual weight. The palette of beige, brown, and dusty rose feels aged and harmonious, making this vintage floral Khotan especially suited to interiors that value texture, history, and an understated, collected character.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
