Khotan / 17200

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 267 x 536 cm, is rendered in faded taupe, sand, warm beige, muted brown, charcoal, and ivory. Its elongated composition is organised through repeating octagonal medallions, geometric field ornaments, and finely bordered edges, all softened by age into a calm, layered surface. Visible wear and fading give the wool a dry, lived-in tactility, while the pattern still holds its structure across the length. Circa 1900 - 1920, it offers the restrained palette and balanced ornament typical of a well-worn antique rug with enduring visual presence.
