Master Bath Khotan Carpet

August 31, 2010 by Jane T 2 Comments

khotan carpet - master bath retreat with Khotan pictorial carpet by Kristen Buckingham - via AtticmagLarge bath retreats are ideal display spots for pictorial rugs like this elegant khotan carpet.

My personal criterion for choosing a bathroom to feature is one that includes a beautiful handmade rug like this unusual pictorial khotan carpet. Bathrooms are one of our primary categories here on Atticmag and in the master bath of designer Kristen Buckingham’s home, this antique Khotan pictorial carpet is unforgettable. A wide open area, unspoiled by furniture, is just right for displaying directional and pictorial carpets which tend to be directional.  Since most of the rug escaped the camera lens, we’ll rely on a similar example to illustrate what it looks like.

khotan carpet - stylized pictorial rug from Kristen Buckingham via AtticmagAccording to the Encyclopedia Brittanica Khotan carpets are rugs “handwoven in or about the ancient city of Khotan (Hotan) in the southern Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang (Chinese Turkistan). Khotan rugs were once called Samarkand rugs after the Central Asian trading centre. They combine Chinese details with Central Asian design schemes.” This large-scale bird design is similar to many Chinese Art Deco rugs. The images are also stylized in a way that suggests the late 1920s or early 1930s as when the carpet was woven.

    Hi Jane,
    I’m very interested in your Master Bath Khotan Pictoral Carpet. Can you give me a price, size and let me know what it is made of?
    Thanks,
    Chris

      Hello Chris,

      The article Jane T wrote explains that the Khotan carpet belongs to Kristen Buckingham — it’s in her bathroom. She’s a decorator and is married to a musician. It’s an unusual piece and, as carpets go, those are pretty much a specialty. You might try just searching for khotan carpets and see who the main dealers are currently as they are relatively rare.

      Hope that helps! Best, Jane
