Antique Khotan rugs, Kirgiz rugs and Kazak carpets from northwest China
The Xinjiang (Sinkiang) region is in the far north-west of China, along the Silk Road route. Rugs were made by nomadic groups such as the Kirgiz (Khirgiz or Kyrgyz) people and also in the oasis towns Kashgar and Khotan. We source our rugs directly from this region, and the standard we sell is much better than the rugs you will generally find.
We have just added a new batch of antique Khotan carpets and other antique rugs that we collected on our travels during the summer period. They include two superb large Khotan carpets (the first two on this page) that are amongst the finest we have seen, and a very pretty and very "tribal" Kazak rug.
