Beskrivning

which is from the city of Khotan, a major trading centre at the start of the southern leg of the famous Silk Road. There are two unusual aspects to the rug. The soft wool is typical of the next city along the Silk Road which is Samarkand. The central medallion design in the field clearly has Turkoman influences although this is easily explained because the land to the immediate south of this part of the Silk Route is home to many Turkoman tribes. Pastel shades with soft wool make the rug perfect for the eyes and bare toes. Reference 3539. Size 293 x 70 cms., or 9ft. 7 ins. x 2ft. 4 ins. Euros 875.
