Khotan / 15462

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 6' 1" x 11' 5", presents a softly worn field of warm neutral ground tones lifted by red ornamental detail. Scattered floral forms, small medallion shapes, and a bold circular centre anchor the composition, while the border reads with a restrained geometric rhythm. The wool surface has a quiet, time-softened hand, with visible fading and abrash that deepen the sense of age. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the layered character and balanced asymmetry that define the most engaging Khotan weaving traditions. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
