Khotan / 12934

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 190 x 366 cm, is woven in wool with a restrained palette of red, blush pink, ivory, and neutral beige. Three medallions anchor the open field, each one softened by age and framed by delicate scattered motifs, while the border brings structure through a balanced run of geometric and floral detail. The wool pile shows medium distress, with fading and wear that soften the contrasts and add depth to the composition. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the calm, timeworn elegance often found in Khotan rugs.
