Khotan / 11688

A luminous Khotan on a warm red ground, this antique rug pairs three pale central roundels with restrained floral rosettes and angular corner brackets. The wool field shows a soft, even pile and minimal abrasion, revealing subtle abrash that lends depth to the colour. Multiple cream and white guard borders frame the composition with meander and floral motifs, their scale balancing the expansive runner proportions. The hand of traditional design remains legible while the palette reads contemporary and tactile. Circa 1900 - 1915. Measurements: 6' 6" x 12' 7". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
