Khotan / 16948

This Khotan antique rug measures 4' 4" x 8' 4" and presents a faded field of red and pink softened by warm neutral notes. Floral medallions, small geometric emblems, and stepped corner devices sit within a framed border of angular and linear motifs, giving the composition a quiet rhythm. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible wear and gentle colour loss that lend the piece its timeworn character. Circa 1910 - 1930, it reflects the balance of structure and ornament associated with the Khotan tradition, while retaining an atmosphere that feels layered, subdued, and tactile.
