Khotan / 13137

This Khotan antique rug measures 3' 2" x 11' 6", with a long, narrow format that lets its restrained pattern read as a quiet field of ornament. Wool pile in cream, white, and pale grey is softened by age, while faded pink gathers at one end and adds a subtle blush to the composition. The design balances repeating floral and geometric motifs with a finely drawn border, giving the piece a composed, timeworn rhythm. Circa 1895 - 1920, it carries the patina of a highly distressed antique rug, with visible fading and worn areas that deepen its layered surface.
