Made with hand-knotted wool and originating circa 1960-1970, this 5x9 vintage rug is an exciting new piece in Rug & Kilim’s collection of rare mid-century Turkish rugs—a unique piece with a design influence from vintage and antique Khotan rugs of East Turkestan.On The Design:Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will note the large-scale central medallion and pictorials in the field corners are especially reminiscent of Khotan rugs and antique Chinese rugs—references to the lotus and vase pictorials, both celebrated motifs in these and other oriental provenances. In this piece, borders in beige and cream tones enclose a field of taupe and beige-brown tones, with several floral patterns in gold and brown hues, with black detailing the keen eye will further admire. This Condition: This mid-century rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile height has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and boho chic in the nap—a low pile height well-suited to swinging and sliding doors, among many clearance-conscious design applications.
