Antique Khotan Oriental Rug 42419
Antique
Khotan, East Turkestan, nineteenth centurySprays of flowers arranged as
a trellis or Mina Khani pattern of Persian derivation unfold with an
almost mathematical precision across the field of this splendid antique
Khotan. The pattern is so closely worked that little of the rich
crimson field shows through. The adroit coloration of flowers achieves
diagonal effects, complementing the ground color. The open simplicity
and geometry of the borders provides a soothing framing contrast to the
floral richness of the field.
