Khotan / 12933

This Khotan antique rug measures 170 x 328 cm and shows a finely balanced arrangement of round medallions across a rich red and pink ground. Wool in cream and white tempers the palette, lending softness to the field, borders, and repeating floral details. The overall effect is rhythmic and calm, with layered framing that gives the composition its structure and depth. Light distress and age-softened fading add character without obscuring the pattern. Circa 1920 - 1940, it is an articulate example of the Khotan tradition, shaped by a warm palette and a gently worn surface.
