Description
Hand knotted in wool originating from Spain circa 1910-1920, this antique rug enjoys one of the most desirable Khotan Samarkand rug patterns we’ve seen of this era, a subtle European sensibilities likely connoting the origin and complementing this rug family’s notoriety for the meeting of Western, Chinese, and Persian elements.
On the Design/Symbolism: Both the traditional cloudband border and the stylistic floral guls of the field enjoy the remarkable large scale of this piece, their repetition and play of altering definition bringing out the richness of the red as well as the luminous blue and beige pallet almost akin to the appeal of a Persian garden-style rug; a magnificent transitional rug complementing any interior seeking distinction and classic appeal.
