Golden Echoes — Antique Khotan Rug from Russia (6.5 × 12 ft)

An extraordinary find from the Silk Road traditions, this antique Khotan rug (6.5 × 12 ft) hails from Russia and carries with it the poetic blend of Central Asian geometric clarity and Chinese symbolic elegance. With its long, gallery-style dimensions and time-softened palette, it’s an ideal choice for a grand hallway, dining space, or a dramatic entry gallery.

The rug features a striking layout of three medallions — one central circular and two square flanking motifs — floating against a muted golden-beige field. Soft floral abstractions and curling vine details fill the negative space, creating a rhythmic visual field that feels both formal and fluid. The layered borders include scrolling “cloud band” patterns, hooked motifs, and angular fretwork, rendered in chocolate brown, sand, and faint rust — all mellowed beautifully by age.

Woven in wool and washed with a patina that speaks of history, this piece brings heritage and understated sophistication to any interior.
