Khotan / 15695

This Khotan antique rug measures 6' 4" x 12' 6" and presents a long, elegant format with a deeply saturated navy field framed by pale, time-softened borders. The composition pairs branching floral motifs with geometric rhythm, while the surrounding borders layer rosettes, scrollwork, and small pendant forms in blush pink, faded teal, sand, and warm tan. The surface shows honest age, with softened contrast and a lived-in patina that enhances its quiet depth. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the restraint and ornament of the Khotan tradition in wool. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
