Khotan / 12177

An understated Khotan in a soft, neutral colour palette, this antique rug presents a faded grid of medallions within stepped geometric borders. The wool fibre has mellowed with age, producing gentle abrash and a soft patina that both clarifies and subdues the design. Hints of dusty rose sit against a pale blue-grey ground while warm brown outlines define each panel. Moderate wear and subtle edge fraying lend a tactile, lived-in quality that reads as heritage restraint. Circa 1900 - 1915. Exact size: 170 x 312 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
