Khotan / 20597

This Khotan antique rug, 201 x 366 cm, presents a worn red ground lifted by cream, white, and neutral notes. Its composition is defined by a long central field, sparse medallion motifs, small floral elements, and a framed border that keeps the design composed and architectural. The finish has medium distress, with clear fading and age wear that lend the surface a dry, softened handle and muted depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, it offers the quiet patterning and faded tone characteristic of antique Khotan weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
