This Khotan antique rug, measuring 132 x 257 cm, presents a grounded palette of purple, muted red, terracotta, beige and ivory. The composition is organised around a central medallion, with floral urn forms, compact geometric devices and a detailed border that brings definition to the whole. Its surface shows gentle age-softening, giving the pattern a more understated, woven-in depth. Circa 1900 - 1930, the rug feels balanced and quietly graphic, with low visible distress and subtle wear that supports its character without diminishing the clarity of the design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
