Khotan / 16428

This Khotan antique rug measures 190 x 384 cm and presents a long, measured composition with a refined geometric cadence. A central diamond field is set within stepped bands and narrow borders, drawing out a pattern of small floral and linear motifs across a muted ground of cream, brown, taupe, and charcoal. The wool surface shows medium wear, with softened contrast and a lightly distressed finish that enhances its aged character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it speaks to the composed ornament and quiet balance associated with Khotan weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
