Khotan / 20583

This Khotan antique rug measures 150 x 274 cm and carries a muted field of faded red, cream, and warm beige. Small floral and geometric motifs are dispersed across the centre, balanced by a layered border of stepped forms, scrolls, and angular corner devices. The wool surface shows medium wear, with visible abrash and softened detail that give the piece its lived-in depth. Circa 1900 - 1930, it speaks to the calm geometry and heritage sensibility of the Khotan tradition, with a palette that feels sun-faded, restrained, and tactile. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
