Khotan / 11930

A considered Khotan antique rug in wool, proportioned 206 x 394 cm. A disciplined all-over of small floral rosettes scatters across a muted ground, the composition enlivened by warm red and pink tones framed by broad cream border panels. Wear is minimal, with a soft, even patina and subtle abrash that emphasises the rug’s woven texture and original colour relationships. The piece reads as quietly aged and materially assured, with borders and field retaining clear, graphic definition. Circa 1885 - 1910 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
