Silk Khotan / 20585

This Silk Khotan antique rug, measuring 173 x 274 cm, blends a washed cream ground with purple, blush, sage and charcoal notes. The composition is anchored by a framed border and a central floral arrangement, with scrolling forms and small botanical details moving through the field. Silk lends the surface a restrained lustre, now mellowed by visible wear and time. Medium distress softens the outlines and brings a lived-in tactility to the design, allowing the palette to read with unusual depth. Circa 1945 - 1960. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
