1058 08108 Antique Khotan Rug 9' x 16'6"
Antique Khotan Rug 1058, Country of Origin: East Turkestan, Circa Date: 1920 – Two grand, finely stepped medallions spread with consummate precision across the field of this stately antique Khotan rug. They are elaborated by further by interior medallions of ever-diminishing scale with tiny rosettes and flowers filling the intervening spaces. Half- and quarter medallions of the same type fill out the remainder of the field. The borders consist of double vinescrolls with highly stylized flowers and rosettes which, though different from the field design, still retain its perfect, geometric drawing and ornamental detail. The soft palette of cool tans, soft cocoas, and ivory used across the entire composition of this beautiful antique Khotan rug, imparts and wonderful decorative unity to the carpet as a whole.
