Khotan / 15522

This Khotan antique rug measures 193 x 386 cm, with a tall field organised into repeating octagonal medallions. Red and pink tones sit against cream and white, creating a faded but legible composition, while the surrounding borders introduce a more concentrated geometric cadence. Wool brings a soft, lived-in texture, and the medium distress level is visible in the mellowed contrast and gently aged surface. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the restrained balance and quiet complexity that define the Khotan tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
