This large Khotan design rug displays a classic open field with a repeating geometric lattice pattern of interlocking octagons and diamonds, filled with small floral and hook motifs in soft tones. The spacious pale blue ground is framed by multiple wide borders featuring traditional Khotan-style vine and palmette designs, creating an airy, elegant composition with a gently washed appearance that gives it a vintage-inspired feel while remaining a new handcrafted piece.
Khotan rugs originate from the ancient oasis town of Hotan in Xinjiang, China, where silk and wool rugs with large-scale medallions and open layouts were woven for centuries along the Silk Road. Modern versions like this one are skillfully hand-knotted in Pakistan, preserving the traditional Central Asian patterns but using softer, more muted palettes and fine wool to suit contemporary tastes and interiors.
The hand-knotted wool pile offers a medium density with a comfortable, slightly textured feel, making this oversized rug highly durable for large living rooms, dining areas, or open-plan spaces with moderate to high traffic. Its generous size and serene light blue tones create a calm, expansive backdrop that pairs beautifully with neutral furniture, modern decor, or eclectic traditional elements. Regular gentle vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning will keep the soft colors fresh and the intricate lattice pattern crisp for years.
