This Khotan antique rug measures 188 x 378 cm and offers a calm, time-softened composition in brown, cream, ivory, and neutral tones. The compartmented layout, fine border work, and faint floral detailing remain visible beneath significant wear, giving the surface a layered, archival quality. Wool fibres have mellowed with age, producing a low-contrast finish, abrash-like variation, and a notably distressed character. Circa 1900 - 1930, this Khotan reads as a quietly expressive antique rug, shaped by patina, fading, and an easy sense of age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
