Antique Khotan East Turkestan Ivory 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the elegant fusion of Central Asian and Chinese aesthetics characteristic of khotan rugs. Its structure is defined by a sophisticated, open design that speaks to the transitional period of the early 20th century. The expansive field is rendered in a luminous, pale ivory, establishing a serene foundation typical of high-quality ivory color rugs. Scattered across this ground are highly stylized, symmetrical designs, featuring abstracted pomegranates, butterflies, and geometric elements, placing it firmly within the category of refined floral rugs. A striking contrast is provided by the complex border system, executed in deep indigo and sienna tones. Multiple guard bands feature precise geometric fretwork and Greek key motifs, lending a strong architectural quality to the composition.
