Khotan / 10850

A restrained Khotan in muted reds and warm neutrals, composed around stepped diamond medallions layered with small floral and geometric repeats. A cream guard and patterned outer border frame the field, while the wool pile reads soft and matte from even wear. There is medium distress and subtle abrash across the surface, which lends a quiet, tactile patina and highlights the brown outlines of the design. The scale is generous at 6' 7" x 13' 6", a long, rhythmic proportion that clarifies the repeating medallions. This antique rug carries a measured, heritage presence. Circa 1900 - 1920
