Early 20th Century Central Asian Khotan Carpet ( 5'2" x 8'3" - 157 x 252 )
Antique East Turkestan Allover Pomegranate Design Wool Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: East Turkestan, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional hand-knotted textile from the early Republican era represents a vibrant departure from traditional court designs. Its robust wool pile and masterful construction confirm its status as a highly collectible piece among antique rugs.
The primary field is dominated by a rich, saturated coral hue, providing a striking backdrop for the intricate decorative elements. The composition utilizes an allover pattern of stylized floral medallions and geometric sprigs, creating a dynamic, repeating rhythm that fills the entire surface without relying on a central medallion.
Characteristic of the finest East Turkestan rugs of this period, the palette is bold yet harmonious, incorporating shades of cerise, lavender, soft yellow, and deep charcoal. The complex border system features a prominent Greek key motif flanked by multiple guard stripes, showcasing the technical mastery inherent in early 20th-century weaving from the region of East Turkestan.
While the exact dimensions suggest an elongated format (approximately 5.02ft x 8.03ft), perfect for guiding the eye through a corridor or gallery, this piece functions as a powerful statement artwork. The durable wool foundation ensures longevity, making this vibrant textile an ideal choice for placement as a striking hallway runner rug in a discerning contemporary or traditional interior.
