Khotan / 14677

This Khotan antique rug, 6' 6" x 13' 2", presents a long, rhythmic field of floral and geometric ornament set against a saturated red ground. Layered borders and a lively outer band frame the composition, while the central motifs retain a calm, ordered balance. Wool lends the surface a soft, tactile finish, and the low distress allows the palette of red, neutral, and pink to read clearly, with subtle ageing throughout. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the quiet warmth and pattern density that define the most compelling Khotan weavings.
