Khotan / 28662

This Khotan antique rug measures 239 x 457 cm, with an understated palette of ivory, cream, warm beige and soft grey. The composition is quiet and balanced, with a gently faded central field, fine floral tracery, and layered border lines that frame the design without heaviness. Its highly distressed surface lends a powdery, softened appearance, allowing the drawn motifs to appear and disappear across the weave. There is a calm, timeworn elegance to the piece, shaped by age and wear. Circa 1900 - 1920, this antique rug reflects the restrained ornament and atmospheric character associated with Khotan work.
