Antique Khotan Hallway Runner Wool Rug, Country of Origin: East Turkestan, Circa Date: 1935. This exceptional piece represents the unique weaving traditions of East Turkestan, blending indigenous Central Asian motifs with classical imperial Chinese design elements. The Khotan East Turkestan region, now part of modern China, produced rugs known for their distinctive color palettes and sparse, elegant compositions, setting them apart from other antique East Turkestan rugs. The field is rendered in a beautifully faded coral, a hallmark color of period Khotan weaving, offset by a large, subtly articulated central oval medallion in soft cream and tan. The surrounding space is punctuated by stylized floral and geometric motifs, including traditional pomegranate clusters and auspicious emblems, all outlined in a deep, rich brown that provides structure to the composition.
