/ / / gorgeous vintage Khotan rug with stunning colors and the most magical flora and fauna design in the field. Khotan rugs are amongst the most collectible rugs- they were originally made in areas throughout the Silk Road, and so you can see the beautiful melding of Persian influences from the Middle East and Chinese influences of the Far East in these unique textiles. Pomegranates are typical in Khotan rugs, and signify both fertility and abundance. I love thinking about the history of old rugs-where in the world have they been? What homes have they lived in? There is a certain romance and mystery to these hand knotted pieces of art.

/ / / condition: very good vintage condition. This rug has been professionally restored and the headends secured, ensuring many, many more years of life. This rug is not perfectly rectangular, as seen in the photos. I highly recommend using a recycled felt rug pad with grip backing to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping-using a rug pad will also prolong the life of your rug. Rugpadusa.com is a good source for rug pads. I am in no way affiliated with them, I just like their selection, the fact that they custom cut, and their recycled felt and natural rubber options. I have handpicked this rug specifically for its rustic, timeworn appeal. It may have other small imperfections- which is part of the charm of these old textiles. I want you to love your rug! Please look at the photos carefully and ask any and all questions before purchasing, as all sales are final. This rug has been professionally cleaned and is ready for use.
