Rare Antique Samarkand Khotan Rug 5x8 | Hand-Knotted Red Salmon Brown Wool Area Rug

Commanding attention with its unusual double-medallion structure, this authentic antique Samarkand Khotan rug illustrates the sophisticated geometric equilibrium characteristic of East Turkestan’s legendary weaving centers. Woven by hand using 100% organic, hand-spun wool, the visual narrative is anchored by two large, intricately detailed grey medallions resting upon a deep, rich red field, subtly accented by earthy salmon-brown undertones and neutral highlights.

The interplay between cool grey geometric forms and warm red and salmon groundwork creates a captivating visual tension prized by interior designers and textile scholars. Displaying authentic age-acquired patina, soft tonal abrash, and a preserved low-profile pile, this rare piece bridges classic Silk Road heritage with modern design sensibilities. It brings structural weight, quiet luxury, and historical provenance to living rooms, private studies, or grand foyers.
