A rare and incredible early example, Khotan rugs have always been regarded as decorative collectable rugs, this one is something to be seen up close. Moon guls and classical floral motifs from China make up the beautiful design.
Khotan rugs and carpets came from the East Turkestan city of Khotan, and are part of the legends of the Silk Road. Designs vary with ornate borders and large elaborate medallions to gorgeous repeating patterns. The city is famous for producing both silk and wool carpets. The pomegranate in Khotan rugs became a symbol for prosperity, with its branches fashioned into an exquisite geometric folk design. It is not uncommon for some Khotan’s to have metallic threads too.

Samarkand was once the gateway to China. As one of the principal cities of the silk route and the main commercial artery of Asia. It thus became the Western outlet for woven carpets, known to dealers in the trade as East Turkestan. The main weaving centres were Khotan and Yarkand; their carpets were known simply as Samarkands. There is no obvious connection between Samarkand rugs of Khotan and Yarkand, designs varied with moon gul motifs, vases and pomegranates used in the main field of the design.
