Khotan / 18007

This Khotan antique rug in wool measures 239 x 384 cm and presents a restrained palette of ivory, charcoal, blush, coral, and soft taupe. The composition centres on a geometric field of repeated forms and floral details, enclosed by layered borders with angular motifs and finer decorative bands. Medium distress has softened the contrast, giving the surface an aged, atmospheric quality without losing the underlying structure. Circa 1920 - 1940, it is a quietly expressive piece, where wear, fade, and pattern work together in a calm, textural register. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
