Khotan / 20589

This Khotan antique rug in wool measures 152 x 290 cm and presents a layered interplay of red, brown, white, and cream against a muted grey-blue ground. The composition centres on a repeating field of roundels and scrolling geometric forms, enclosed by borders that add rhythm and definition. Low distress gives the piece a softened, lived-in surface, with light wear and an aged tonal shift that enhances its character. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the balanced ornament and gentle formality often found in Khotan weaving, expressed here with quiet depth and warmth.
