Antique Khotan, East Turkestan, Late 19th Century – This breathtaking, earth-toned Khotan rug is the perfect touch for a nature-inspired or Oriental room design. Khotan is located in the Xinjiang region of what is now considered East Turkestan. This city historically sat at the intersection between China, Persia, Turkey, and the Mongol tribes. It was once a trading center where people from all over the world gathered to exchange goods. As such, many of the designs have a flavor that is a fusion of Chinese, Persian, and Turkish design styles. This piece was created in the late 19th century and fits in perfectly with the chinoiserie style that was popular throughout Europe and America at the time.
