Crafted in the Silk Road oasis of Khotan, this diminutive antique scatter rug from East Turkestan displays a bold medallion accompanied by graphic border devices. Representing an elegant marriage of East and West, this distinguished antique Khotan rug has a traditional medallion composition with loosely spaced rounded orbs and floating rosettes that are placed over a luxurious apricot field. Spiraling fretwork spandrels infuse the composition with Oriental influences while spiraling rosettes and star-like blossoms represent regional iconography.
