Silk Khotan / 15710

This Silk Khotan antique rug, 384 x 427 cm, presents a calm, open field in cream, red, and softened neutral tones. Small floral and geometric motifs are dispersed across the centre, gathered within a layered border that carries rust, rose, and muted red accents. The silk surface reads with a subtle lustre, and the low distress leaves the design legible while adding a gentle, timeworn quality. Circa 1900 - 1915, it speaks to the poised decorative language and delicate patterning associated with Silk Khotan weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
