Khotan / 12174

This Khotan in wool presents a calm grey ground framed by a warm red floral border; its motifs of medallions, palmettes and foliate sprays feel both traditional and modern. The neutral, red, cream and white palette is softened by subtle abrash and low wear, lending the piece a tactile, layered quality. The composition is measured and design-literate, with an even pile that retains a gentle hand. Read as an antique rug with collected patina and refined presence. Circa 1900 - 1915. Measurements: 122 x 254 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
