The origin of Khotan rugs lies in western China. Rugs made in Khotan reached Samarkand via the Silk Road, from where trade with buyers from Europe was coordinated. That is why such carpets are also called Samarkand carpets. The designs are closely related to Turkmen and traditional Chinese motifs. Antique Khotan rugs often have strong colors with plant or mineral origins. Pieces produced after the introduction of chemical dyes are often faded and light in color.
For several years now, the elegant and calm Khotan styles have also become increasingly popular in modern interior design. For this purpose, we produce carpets in our partner factories in Afghanistan and Nepal, both in traditional color compositions and in colors according to customer requirements.
Our collection of high-quality Khotan Samarkand rugs is made in Nepal, Kathmandu by excellent weavers. In order to get as close as possible to the look of the antique originals, we specifically looked for old women in small villages who still master the art of hand spinning. This has not been common practice in the carpet industry in Nepal for several years. Hand-spinning gives the wool a certain irregularity in the yarn thickness, which gives this carpet its special appearance.
This piece combines the finest Matka silk from China with Tibetan highland wool. The knotting yarn of each color is spun from two threads of silk and one thread of wool to achieve the incomparable look of these rugs.
The feel is particularly soft and cozy thanks to the use of the finest materials. The carpet is approx. 1/2 inch high.
