Khotan / 12947

This Khotan antique rug measures 3' 3" x 12' 10" and is woven in wool, with a long, narrow format that carries a rhythmic field of floral medallions and scrolling ornament. The red and pink ground is softened by cream and white accents, while the border frames the composition with quiet geometric clarity. Surface wear has mellowed the contrast and brought a dry, lived-in texture to the piece, giving it a grounded, heirloom feel. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reads as both graphic and restrained, with a faded warmth that highlights the character of the antique rug.
