Khotan / 12076

This Khotan presents a pale blue field enlivened by rose coral and terracotta borders, its wool pile softened by time. A modest round medallion and repeating floral-lattice motifs settle into an evenly faded ground, the layered borders offering geometric and flowering friezes in gentle contrast. The piece retains a consistent abrash and light surface wear, the fringe and edges displaying honest character; the overall effect is quietly antique and tactile. Circa 1920 - 1935. 132 x 249 cm. This antique rug retains a considered, tactile character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
