Khotan / 16414

This Khotan antique rug, 6' 6" x 12' 8", carries a faded, lyrical surface where red and pink ornament rests over a softly worn field. The design reads with calm symmetry, moving from an allover floral rhythm to layered geometric borders that frame the composition with clarity. Cream and white highlights temper the saturated ground, while the wool pile shows low distress and an aged, tactile softness. Circa 1900 - 1915, it has the quiet balance and sun-washed character that give Khotan rugs their enduring presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
