Khotan / 20595

This Khotan antique rug measures 170 x 335 cm, and its wool pile shows the kind of softened character that comes with age. A subdued neutral ground carries faded red and cream floral motifs across the field, while the borders layer slender bands with a scrolling outer guard that keeps the composition orderly. Circa 1900 - 1930, the design sits between delicacy and structure, with medium distress that has mellowed the contrasts and blurred the edges in an appealing way. The result is a rug with depth, restraint, and a quietly expressive surface.
