This antique Uzbekistan Khotan transitional rug presents a sophisticated geometric composition arranged in a precise grid pattern. The design features eighteen individual squares, each containing alternating medallion motifs rendered in deep navy blue and warm cream tones. The central field displays a methodical arrangement where circular medallions with intricate geometric centers alternate with more complex rosette-style patterns, creating visual rhythm across the surface.
The piece showcases the distinctive characteristics of Khotan weaving traditions from Uzbekistan, executed entirely in wool with careful attention to symmetry and proportion. Multiple decorative borders frame the central field, each containing its own geometric patterns that complement the main design. The outer guard border features a distinctive diagonal lattice pattern in navy and cream, while inner borders display smaller-scale geometric motifs.
Measuring 7 feet 6 inches by 11 feet 9 inches, this transitional style rug demonstrates the evolution of traditional Central Asian design sensibilities. The balanced color palette of navy blue, cream, and warm beige tones creates a harmonious composition suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
