Antique Khotan East Turkestan Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: East Turkestan, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece represents the finest tradition of East Turkestan weaving, characterized by its open field design and subtle color palette. As one of our premier antique rugs, it offers a sophisticated historical anchor for contemporary interiors.

The palette is remarkably restrained, featuring soft teal and pale rose hues set against a luminous ground of ivory and beige. The central field employs a stylized allover pattern of repeating floral medallions, likely pomegranates, connected by a delicate geometric lattice typical of khotan rugs from this era.

Woven specifically as an elegant runner rug (Dimensions: 5.06ft x 10.06ft), this piece provides linear movement and subtle texture, ideally suited for long transitional spaces. The construction, utilizing high-quality wool and a hand-knotted pile, speaks to the enduring craftsmanship inherent in East Turkestan rugs produced during the early 20th century.

The borders frame the field with a series of minor guard stripes and an elegant main border featuring scrolling vines and stylized cloud bands, adding depth without overwhelming the central design. This rug is a testament to understated luxury, offering a tranquil and enduring aesthetic presence. See less
