Semi Antique Khotan Transitional Pink and Golden-Brown Wool Rug 10877

Originating from East Turkestan between 1920-1940, this antique transitional Khotan rug from Rug & Kilim has an abundance of distinct Chinese imagery throughout its borders. Hand woven in high quality wool, the golden-brown medallion design of the vibrant pink field employs vase and geometric-floral imagery—with allusions to pomegranate and seedling imagery—symbolizing fertility and abundance. More uncommon is the use of wrapping characters in the three borders, featuring Chinese right-angle characters and rolling ruyi clouds, solidifying this Khotan rug’s place among a distinct group historically employing Oriental and Buddhist imagery. Quick and easy to clean.
