Khotan / 20569

This Khotan antique rug, 183 x 338 cm, is woven in wool with a softly aged field and a muted palette of cream, grey, and faded red. The open composition is set with small geometric devices, floral rosettes, and stepped motifs, enclosed by multiple borders with vine and blossom detail. Medium distress and visible wear have mellowed the pattern, giving the surface a calm, collected character. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the measured ornament and faded poise often found in antique rug design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
