Hand knotted in wool originating from East Turkestan circa 1890-1900, this antique rug connotes a classic Khotan rug design with a classic approach to transitional colorway celebrated in this oriental rug family. Favoring the cloudband pattern in both the medallion and border patterns, the emphasis on this rustic gray-blue colorway complements the classic red and gold-yellow hues with a distinction few pieces of this venerated family enjoy; a rare carpet further boasting ideal condition, an intriguing dimensionality in the movement of its juxtaposed cloudband and meandering borders, and subtle variations in definition among the patterns remarking an expert level of control in this large scale. A welcomed addition to the antique Khotan rug line in Rug & Kilim’s Antique & Vintage Collection.
About the Collection: Antique rugs have been in Josh’s resume since he began in the industry almost 40 years ago when he was already recognized for one of the largest oriental rug collections in the United States. Each piece in the internationally recognized volume was hand picked for rarity, and of course aesthetic and beauty, now complementing one of the widest varieties of Persian rug and Turkish rug collections with the utmost attention to individuality and care. Because of Josh’s position in the wholesale rug industry he’s been responsible for promoting a number of collections throughout history, from breathtaking signature Tabriz, Sultanabad, Kerman Lavar, Agra, and Oushak classics to the more unsung jewels of the luxury industry.
Vintage has also been synonymous with who we are since our beginning, particularly for our unparalleled Kilim collection, but with the rise of Mid Century collection the term vintage carpet has become very popular—especially exciting because often times many of the vintage carpets have also been treated, washed, dyed over, sheared, and modified—and has created a very successful category. We’re especially very proud of our vintage Kilims and Turkish rugs curated for our expansive collection of both area rugs and runners alike.
Rug & Kilim maintains our own facilities for cleaning and restoration exclusively for carpets we’ve sold to ensure their lasting beauty and care long after a piece leaves our collection. less
