Woven approximately a century ago, it features the iconic stylized pomegranate motif—a design associated with abundance, prosperity, and continuity—rendered in a beautifully balanced allover composition.

The deep brown field provides a dramatic and grounding backdrop, allowing the soft pale pink motifs to emerge with subtle elegance. An ivory border frames the composition, creating a gentle contrast that enhances the overall harmony of the piece. Over time, the natural dyes have mellowed into a rich, luminous patina, giving the rug a softness and depth that only age can achieve.

Khotan rugs are celebrated for their unique blend of Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences, and this piece is no exception—its design feels both structured and fluid, making it an exceptional addition to interiors that value character and restraint.

Ideal for a hallway, layered in a living space, or used as a statement in a bedroom, this rug brings a sense of history and understated luxury to any setting.
