This antique Khotan rug from East Turkestan, hand-knotted approximately 100 years ago, presents a richly layered composition centered on an array of stylized vases—each distinct in scale, pattern, and form. Set against a warm red field, the vases are adorned with intricate geometric detailing and filled with a variety of plants and flowers, each uniquely rendered.

While the design is highly stylized, there is a softness to the execution that gives the rug an inviting and balanced presence—making it both visually engaging and easy to live with.

The border features alternating large floral motifs connected by a flowing vine, all rendered in ivory with subtle black detailing. This creates a strong yet elegant frame that enhances the composition without overpowering it.

A beautifully balanced and expressive piece, this rug reflects both the artistry and individuality of Khotan weaving traditions.
