Antique Khotan East Turkestan Ivory Color 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of khotan rugs, originating from the historic weaving traditions of East Turkestan. The field is rendered in a sublime, muted ivory color, providing a neutral yet rich foundation for the intricate design work.

The composition is dominated by a powerful central medallion structure, characterized by stepped outlines and delicate internal detailing. This sophisticated use of line and form highlights the traditional reliance on geometric rugs within this regional style, balancing complexity with minimalist elegance.

Dating to the 1930s, this carpet captures the transition between classical design and the Art Deco sensibilities that often influenced later production of antique rugs. The borders are particularly striking, featuring a dense arrangement of stylized Greek key motifs and subtle floral elements rendered in contrasting dark brown.

The scale of this weaving makes it an ideal selection for defining a primary living space or dining area. Its generous dimensions classify it among the most desirable room size rugs, offering expansive coverage while maintaining the delicate, airy quality imparted by its light color palette. See less
