Vintage Khotan Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8967 7'0" × 13'7" $53,000

Hand-knotted in East Turkestan during the vintage period, this Samarkand Khotan wool rug channels the region’s Silk Road tradition in a quiet geometric format. Its warm tan ground, soft beige, and faded peach tones create a mellow, sun-washed field that feels time-softened rather than faded, bringing an easy sense of age and refinement.

Three rounded medallions rise through the center, each outlined in dark brown and worked with delicate floral and cruciform details. Around them, small amulet-like marks, stepped corner devices, and slender linear ornaments create a measured tribal-formal rhythm. The spacing remains open, allowing the composition to breathe while still offering clear decorative structure.

A layered border of meander, fret, and scrolling motifs frames the design with just enough definition to anchor furniture and soften larger rooms. The low, weathered wool surface and restrained palette make this vintage geometric rug especially effective in interiors seeking warmth, antique character, and the understated elegance associated with Khotan carpets for designers and collectors.

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.
