Khotan / 16415

This Khotan antique rug measures 127 x 231 cm and presents the understated balance associated with the type, with a rust red ground softened by ivory, blush, and muted grey. A pale central medallion sits within a field of floral and geometric motifs, while the outer border and corner devices lend structure without overwhelming the composition. The wool surface shows medium distress, with even wear, softened contrast, and fringe character that speak to age. Circa 1940 - 1970, this rug reflects a calm, decorative language, where faded colour and restrained pattern give the design its tactile presence.
