Khotan / 12917

A quietly elegant Khotan runner, rendered in a restrained white-to-cream palette on wool. The 6' 5" x 12' 3" proportions emphasize the elongated field, punctuated by a small round medallion and spare geometric motifs that read like a refined sketch. A narrow inner frame leads to a foliate border with muted rose accents; the surface shows medium, even wear that softens color and pattern. The result is an antique rug with a whispering, tactile presence where craft and age converse. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
