Khotan / 16729

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 353 x 472 cm, is anchored by a dark charcoal field and softened by ivory, cream and muted grey-brown ornament. The composition pairs repeating medallions with delicate floral motifs, all enclosed by a measured border of geometric panels and fine linear detail. Its wool pile shows medium distress, with visible fading, worn passages and a gently aged surface that quiets the contrast. Circa 1925 - 1945, this piece carries the balanced geometry and restrained palette associated with Khotan rugs, while retaining a tactile, time-softened character that feels resolute and refined.
