Khotan / 15521

This Khotan antique rug measures 178 x 345 cm and presents a mellow composition in pink, white, cream, and red. A central medallion sits within a dense field of floral and geometric motifs, all enclosed by borders that mix scrolling forms with petite repeating details. The colours have softened with age, creating a powdery, lived-in surface that reads as calm rather than bright. Medium distress is visible throughout, adding texture and gentle contrast to the wool. Circa 1890 - 1910, it offers the layered patterning and restrained atmosphere that define a thoughtfully aged antique rug.
