Antique Khotan Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile East Turkestan Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite example of khotan rugs originates from East Turkestan, showcasing the region's unique blend of Chinese and Persian design sensibilities prevalent during the early 20th century. The field presents a sophisticated allover pattern of stylized floral medallions and branching vines, rendered in soft rose and muted terracotta tones. This continuous design avoids a central medallion, allowing the eye to traverse the impressive length of the composition without interruption. The masterful use of color, featuring a subtly oxidized field of soft gray-green against the dominant ivory color foundation, lends the piece a remarkable patina. Its substantial dimensions qualify it as a desirable room size piece, ideal for anchoring a large living space or gallery.
