Samarkand - Khotan Rugs
Vintage Khotan Samarkand Rug 6'3 x 12'3. This wonderful piece has a lovely ivory field filled with a floral design. The rug has a low all over pile that just adds to the patina and gives it this amazing look that works so well with both modern and traditional styles. A stunning example from the crossroads of Central Asia, this Khotan rug hails from Samarkand, once a vital stop along the fabled Silk Road and a gateway between East and West. This piece represents the rich cultural melting pot of the region—where Chinese fretwork, Persian floral influences, and Turkic geometric motifs blend harmoniously in one visual symphony.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
