Khotan / 18960

This Khotan antique rug in wool measures 6' 6" x 12' 6" and carries the quiet balance that defines the type. A faded field of dusty rose, sage, and warm beige is layered with small floral sprays, round blossoms, and subtle compartmental structure, all softened by time into a calm, painterly surface. The narrow border keeps the composition grounded while the wear adds warmth and depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as collected and restrained, with medium distress that enhances its textural presence without overwhelming the pattern. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
