This Khotan antique rug measures 4' 8" x 6' 10" and presents a restrained yet lyrical composition. A deep blue field holds a central flowering tree rendered in cream and warm brown, framed by a pale border with subtle geometric tracing and a floral outer band. The wool surface shows medium distress, with softened contrast, visible fading, and gentle abrash that lends depth to the blues. The overall effect is balanced and quietly expressive, with a graphic clarity that feels both decorative and grounded. Circa 1930 - 1955. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
