Khotan / 16428

This Khotan antique rug measures 6' 3" x 12' 7" and carries the quiet structure of a long, narrow composition. A central diamond field unfolds in layered geometric bands, softened by time into a restrained palette of cream, brown, taupe, and charcoal. The borders add fine linear and floral detail without interrupting the calm rhythm of the layout. Medium wear and gentle fading give the surface a lived-in, tactile presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the balanced ornament and subtle contrast that define this wool Khotan. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
