Khotan / 16689

This Khotan antique rug measures 6' 7" x 12' 10" and carries a quiet, time-softened presence. Woven in wool, its pale cream field is layered with faded floral tracery, a restrained inner border, and a muted rose guard that still reads through the wear. The composition feels open and contemplative, with the design dispersed by age into a delicate haze. High distress has softened the surface throughout, giving the piece its lived-in character. Circa 1915 - 1945, it reflects the gentle balance and understated ornament associated with classic Khotan weaving.
