Khotan / 14908

This Khotan antique rug measures 175 x 335 cm and unfolds with a calm, timeworn field enclosed by intricate borders and repeating ornament. Wool lends the surface a grounded texture, while red, neutral, white, and cream tones create a palette that feels muted yet articulate. The centre is visibly softened by age, with medium distress and mellow fading that leave the motifs partially veiled. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the layered pattern and restrained atmosphere often associated with a well-aged Khotan. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
