The rug in question is a traditional Khotan design originating from Central Asia, created circa 1880. Central Asian Khotan rugs are well-known for their complex weaving techniques and culturally rich motifs, reflecting a blend of artistic influences from regions such as China, Persia, and Turkey. These rugs were historically woven along the Silk Road in the ancient city of Khotan, now known as Hotan, in southern Xinjiang, China.
Crafted with wool on a cotton foundation, this particular rug features a peach-colored background with an ivory border. The main color of the rug is beige, lending it a warm, neutral tone suitable for various interior settings. The design incorporates intricate patterns and symmetrical motifs that are characteristic of traditional Khotan styles. These patterns often include detailed geometric shapes and floral elements, symbolizing diverse artistic traditions.
A standout feature of this rug is its complex border design, composed of multiple layers. The outermost border displays a wide and repeating geometric pattern with motifs resembling diamonds and other shapes. Several thinner borders with zigzag patterns provide a contrasting frame to the central field of the rug, enhancing its visual appeal. These borders are crafted in complementary colors that further highlight the intricate details against the peach background.
The rug's symmetrical design contributes to its balanced and harmonious appearance, with mirrored motifs along both the horizontal and vertical axes. The pattern density is notably high, especially in the central field where small motifs and design elements are closely spaced, minimizing plain or empty spaces. This dense patterning adds to the rug's richness and visual interest.
Two prominent hexagonal medallions are positioned equidistantly along the vertical axis, serving as focal points within the rug's design. These medallions are intricately woven, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship and artistic heritage of Khotan weavers. The combination of symmetrical motifs, high pattern density, and intricate border detailing makes this rug a striking example of traditional Khotan weaving.
This antique rug not only represents the artistic and cultural fusion typical of Khotan designs but also serves as a tangible piece of history, reflecting the rich weaving traditions of Central Asia from the late 19th century.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
