Khotan / 16437

This Khotan antique rug in wool measures 3' 6" x 5' 10" and presents a quiet, balanced composition in cream, white, and warm tan. The field is softly detailed with octagonal medallions and small floral forms, framed by nested borders that alternate meander and floral motifs. Its restrained palette and faded surface give the piece a calm, timeworn presence without losing the clarity of its pattern. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reflects the elegant understatement associated with Khotan weaving, with medium wear that deepens its tactile appeal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
