Antique Handmade Chinese Khotan Rug/Carpet Geometric Design FREE UK Delivery. SBR7123/2704B
A genuine Antique Khotan Handmade Rug/Carpet
With FREE* Nationwide Delivery
The carpet has a Geometric Design and the colours are vibrant considering its age.
The carpet's pile is tight.
The design stems from 18th century design often found on carpets woven in east Turkestan in the oasis towns of Khotan and Samarkand on the antient Silk Road
The former owner of the carpet has loved and looked after the carport.
We have invoices from Behar Proflex (carpet restorer to the Queen Mother) dating back to the early 1980s including a restoration invoice for £1013 in 1995.
There are white flecks in the carpet that I could not account for so I contacted Robert Behar and he replied " NB the little white flecks in the middle of the rug are cotton knots that were there from the beginning, they just rubberstamp the originality of the rug"
Info about the white flecks.
"Rug white knots are foundation fiber tie off points. These are either warps, or wefts. They are a by-product of the weaving process. It is just not possible to tie tens of thousands (sometimes hundreds of thousands) of knots to create a rug and not have the foundation strands not break now and then."

Being hand made the rug does not have perfect straight edges.
