Khotan / 16723

This Khotan antique rug measures 6' 6" x 12' 9" and presents a restrained palette of cream, taupe, brown, and charcoal across a long, architectural field. The composition is ordered and textural, with stepped medallions, geometric panels, and floral border work that reads with quiet clarity despite visible wear. The surface shows softened contrast and age-rich fading, giving the wool a lived-in matte hand. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the grounded balance and visual rhythm that define an antique rug from this tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
