Khotan / 16768

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 244 x 465 cm, unfolds in cream, white, and softened red, with warm grey notes carried through a markedly worn surface. The composition remains legible in its faded central field, delicate floral and geometric motifs, and weathered border ornament, while the high distress lends an atmospheric, time-softened presence. Subtle abrash and uneven fading create depth without disturbing the calm register of the design. Circa 1900 - 1940, it offers the restrained patina and heritage detail often sought in an antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
