Khotan / 13139

This Khotan antique rug measures 213 x 401 cm, and its elongated form is balanced by a chain of medallions set across a mellow gold field. A deeper centre motif gives the design its structure, while tiny floral details and scrolling accents lend movement and softness. The border work brings together brown, blue, and rose tones, with subtle age-related variation that enriches the surface. The overall effect is calm, layered, and grounded, with low distress and a gently timeworn finish. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
