Kirgiz carpet, around 1900

Khotan carpet from Northwest China (Xinjiang) with pomegranite design
code XR9
size (m) 2.92x1.30
estimated age around 1900
comments We picked out this carpet for its attractive floral designs and unusual border coloring, with several shades of blue, brown and red. The central field motif is a common one in older Kirgiz carpets, but the border motif of a 3-flower group is unusual: we generally see 4-flower border designs in these carpets.

Condition is good, with some minor repairs at the ends and corners
