The History and Cultural Fusion Behind Khotan Rugs
With origins in Eastern Turkestan, Khotan has long had historical connections to China, Persia, Tibet, and Central Asia. As a vital trading post along the Silk Road, Khotan was a crossroads that produced unique rugs blending Chinese, Tibetan, Persian, Turkish, and Turkmen influences. Instead of primarily Persian carpets or Chinese rugs, the resulting designs embodied the region's multicultural artistry, blending each culture’s colors and motifs.
