Khotan / 19266

This Khotan antique rug measures 4' 11" x 9' 7" and presents a softly worn, design-rich field in warm orange, taupe, cream, and brown. Geometric medallions, small floral-guard motifs, and a stepped central emblem are held within layered borders that feel balanced and restrained. The palette has mellowed with age, allowing the wool pile to read with a quiet, tactile softness. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the visual calm and decorative clarity associated with Khotan weaving, while medium wear lends the surface an inviting, lived-in depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
