Khotan / 11434

A Khotan wool runner with a luminous cream field and warm red medallions, composed with a deliberate, antique sensibility. Three generous circular medallions stack along the length, balanced by smaller roundels, stylised stars and geometric hook motifs. Multiple guard borders and a patterned meander frame the field while gentle abrash and low distress lend a softened, tactile surface. The hand of the wool reads muted and dry, letting the red and brown accents settle into a quiet patina. The proportions are 6' 0" x 11' 6"; the object reads as an antique rug with measured restraint. Circa 1890 - 1910
