Modern East Turkestan Khotan Room Size Carpet

This wool pile, with asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation, features a moderately subdued color scheme. The oasis town carpet displays a repeating pattern in abrashed light slate, yellow ochre, and ecru, arranged in an eccentric cartouche layout with pinecones, various leaves, and abstract shapes. The pattern is balanced end-to-end but not horizontally, creating the illusion of an infinite design, of which only a portion is visible. The main border depicts storm clouds, while the outer border features a carrot-colored ground with minor stripes and blank circles.
