Khotan / 18540

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 160 x 257 cm, shows a composed arrangement of cartouches, floral sprays, and a stepped central medallion in softened blush, ivory, charcoal, and gold. The field has an evenly aged surface with a calm patina, while the border frames the design with strong repetition and clarity. Woven in wool, it carries low distress and subtle wear that gently softens the lines without diminishing the graphic presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it brings together the decorative geometry and floral detail that define the Khotan tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
