Pastel Peshawar – Transitional Khotan Design Pakistani Rug – 5’11” x 7’11” ft.

This exquisite Pakistani hand-knotted rug offers a brilliant, transitional interpretation of the legendary Khotan weaving traditions of ancient East Turkestan. The highly architectural composition is defined by a mesmerizing, all-over grid layout that elegantly divides the central canvas. Within each perfectly proportioned compartment rests a classic, stepped octagonal medallion filled with intricate, stylized geometric cross motifs. This highly structured, beautifully tailored design is powerfully framed by a striking geometric border featuring classic interlocking angular vines and traditional fretwork, perfectly bridging the gap between historic antiquity and clean, modern design.

The tonal color palette brings soothing, contemporary sophistication to a variety of spaces. A softly heathered field of slate gray, pale silver, and icy blue provides a spectacular, luminous canvas. The striking Khotan motifs are brilliantly rendered in delicate shades of crisp ivory, warm sand, and soft taupe, offering a beautifully muted, low-contrast aesthetic that feels effortlessly luxurious.
