Khotan / 19081

This Khotan antique rug in wool measures 5' 8" x 10' 9" and carries the faded clarity that defines an early decorative weaving. A warm pink ground is worked with repeating floral medallions in ivory, soft red, and muted brown, then enclosed by layered borders with geometric and cloud-like detail. The composition feels orderly yet softened by age, with medium distress, gentle fading, and a lived-in surface that blurs the outlines in a pleasing way. Circa 1900 - 1920, it offers a restrained palette and a quietly architectural presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
