This rare and small antique Kashgar rug, featuring a Mughal pattern, originates from the Kashgar oasis in eastern Turkestan. It stands out with its unique soft red background and a distinctive all-over trellis design. The pattern showcases a directional floral blossom motif typical of the Indian Mughal Dynasty, interspersed with lotus flowers representative of Chinese tradition. This blend of influences reflects the region’s historical role as a cultural hub, a feature evident only in Kashgar rugs. This gem is truly a worthy addition to any world-class collection of Asian art.
