Khotan / 17352

This Khotan antique rug, 4' 10" x 9' 5", presents a quiet, timeworn composition in wool with a softened palette of cream, brown, and muted blue-grey. Layered borders frame a long field of medallions, floral rosettes, and scrolling geometric detail, creating a balanced rhythm across the surface. The drawing has relaxed over time, with medium distress that lends depth to the faded ground and borders. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the grounded character and restrained ornament that make Khotan rugs so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
