Khotan / 15640

This Khotan antique rug, 5' 8" x 10' 10", presents a softly faded field in dusty rose and terracotta, framed by layered borders in cream, taupe, and ochre. The composition balances geometric corner devices, small floral details, and a central medallion sequence that feels restrained yet expressive. Wool gives the surface a dry, timeworn hand, while the medium distress level leaves the drawing mellow and atmospheric. Circa 1895 - 1910, it carries the kind of patina that lets the design read with quiet depth rather than sharp contrast. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
