Khotan / 11288

A restrained Khotan in wool, its floral medallion and vertical floral chain sit within a measured, scrolling border. The neutral, cream and white ground has the soft, washed look of long wear; pattern lines read as drawn outlines against a low-sheen pile. Surface condition shows medium distress and even fading that reveal layered patina and lived texture. The piece measures 5' 8" x 8' 11" and retains a tactile, quiet hand that emphasizes craft over flash. This antique rug carries a calm, heritage presence and an understated compositional grace. Circa 1900 - 1920
