Khotan / 16410

This Khotan antique rug measures 4' 3" x 8' 0" and presents a warm, time-softened palette of brown, cream, white, and beige. The field is layered with an allover floral lattice, rounded medallion-like forms, and intricate border work that gives the composition a quiet rhythm. Medium distress has mellowed the contrast, lending the surface a worn, tactile depth that feels collected rather than ornate. Circa 1880 - 1895, it carries the settled character and restrained geometry that make Khotan weaving so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
