Khotan / 11434

A Khotan wool runner in a warm red and cream palette, its neutral field bearing three stacked circular medallions and smaller roundels rendered with considered geometry. Multi-band guard borders and a stepped meander anchor the composition while low distress produces an even, softened patina across the pile. The wool fibre presents a dry, tactile hand that emphasises the subtle abrash between red and brown tones. This antique rug reads as a quiet study in proportion and craft, recorded at 183 x 351 cm and retaining clear border detail. Circa 1890 - 1910
