Antique Khotan Oriental Carpets 41849
Antique
Khotan Rug from East Turkestan, late nineteenth centuryThough woven in
east Turkestan, this is extremely rare and unusual antique Khotan has
field and border designs derived from the Kuba rugs produced in the
Caucasus over a thousand miles to the west, a remarkable testament to
the ties among all rug-producing regions. An allover array of lovely
rosettes in ivory, soft blues, and saffrons pulsates across the rich
terracotta ground, enclosed by a striking border of s-volutes and
geometricized vines. A veritable feast of intricate design and color,
this carpet is extraordinary as well for its size.
