Beautiful Rust Antique Khotan Rug, Origin: East Turkestan, Circa: Early 20th Century – 5'6'' X 10'5''
This antique Khotan carpet was made in East Turkestan in the early 20th century. This beautiful Rust colored rug utilizes an adaptation of the classic “hundred and one gifts” design, which is visible in the central field of the antique rug.
Unlike some other antique rugs, none of the design elements in this rug are abstracted, creating a very visually interesting design that utilizes heavily contrasting colors. The main ground throughout this magnificent Rust antique Khotan rug is a Rust and the main imagery within the central field is shown in a bright ivory color. There are multiple borders within the rug, with the outermost one featuring a classically-inspired design. The inner border that frames the interior design itself is a more solid border of the bright cream color.
Between these two borders, there are nature inspired elements including representations of various leaves and some trees and utilizes multiple colors. There are softer, lighter Rust within this design as well as a warm Red that contrasts well with the the Rust ground. These nature elements add a softness that help the central design stand out while framing the main field of the Rust antique Khotan rug extremely nicely. The use of concentric borders draws the eye toward the central design without taking away from it.
The central design of this Rust antique Khotan rug has three main elements and consists of several different colors, with the main one being the creamy ivory color. These designs are weaved very complex, and their intricate and delicate weaving showcases the skill required to create these magnificent antique Oriental carpets.

I met with Cyrus on choosing the perfect rug for my entryway. He walked me through the history of the rug and the craftsmanship behind my selection. He had a rug mat cut to size for me and I can’t wait to see it in my home! Thank you, Cyrus!
