Khotan / 16951

This Khotan antique rug measures 7' 0" x 13' 9" and carries a long, lyrical field shaped by softened floral forms, potted tree motifs, and a restrained border. Wool lends the surface a warm, tactile hand, while the palette of neutral, white, cream, and red has mellowed into layered tones with blush and brown undertones. Medium distress gives the piece an aged, lived-in presence, with visible fading that softens the pattern rather than erasing it. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reads with quiet ornament and a grounded, timeworn grace. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
