Khotan / 12930

A Khotan defined by a quietly insistent red field set against a softened grey-neutral ground, this wool piece reads as both textile and timeworn object. The repeating tree-of-life lattice and round floral medallions are rendered in assured, restrained tones that settle into the pile with low distress and gentle abrash. The layers of narrow borders frame the composition with a steady geometric cadence. Texturally alive and measured, this antique rug retains a tactile presence while feeling serenely understated. Circa 1880 - 1915. Dimensions: 6' 0" x 12' 0". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
