This exceptional antique Khotan rug from East Turkestan, hand-knotted approximately 100 years ago, features a rich red central field filled with highly detailed stylized vases. Each vessel is uniquely composed, with intricate geometric patterns and varied proportions, holding an array of finely rendered plants and flowers.

The diversity of motifs across the field creates a sense of rhythm and visual storytelling—hallmarks of the most collectible Khotan weavings.

A narrow golden-yellow border frames the field, leading into a wider outer border decorated with traditional Chinese-inspired motifs—an elegant reflection of the cultural exchange that defines Khotan design.

Bold yet refined, this rug offers a striking presence while maintaining remarkable detail and craftsmanship throughout.
