Khotan / 18358

This Khotan antique rug measures 5' 0" x 9' 0" and carries a quiet, timeworn presence in wool. The composition is organized around a vertical field with layered medallion forms, delicate floral tracery, and a sequence of narrow borders that frame the design with balance. Soft neutral, white, and cream tones are lifted by faded gold, blush, and charcoal details. Medium distress gives the surface a gently worn hand, with softened contrast that underscores its age. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as refined, restrained, and deeply tactile. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
