Vintage Khotan Floral In Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB8784 6'7" × 13'4" $28,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Khotan rug from East Turkestan belongs to the Samarkand weaving tradition, prized for its balanced blend of folk geometry and decorative floral drawing. Its elongated format and softly worn pile give it the relaxed elegance expected of a well-preserved vintage carpet.

A warm golden-yellow field holds a rhythmic arrangement of large round medallions and smaller cross-like botanical motifs, each rendered in pale pink, brick red, ivory, and charcoal. The composition feels orderly yet expressive, with the central medallions providing a strong vertical cadence that draws the eye through the length of the rug.

A pale gray inner field and lively pink-red border sharpen the design, while corner devices and diagonal side ornaments add movement without crowding the open ground. As a vintage Khotan carpet, it brings a collected, softly tribal character that suits both contemporary and classic interiors, and its hand-knotted wool construction adds texture, warmth, and lasting appeal.

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