Khotan / 14033

This Khotan antique rug measures 157 x 259 cm and reflects the restrained geometry and mellowed surface tone often found in the region’s classic field compositions. A pale neutral ground is enclosed by darker borders, with small central motifs and repeating border emblems giving the design a steady, ordered cadence. The wool pile shows medium distress, with visible fading, softened pattern edges, and subtle wear that enhance its lived-in character. Circa 1900 - 1915, it offers an understated balance of pattern, restraint, and age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
