Khotan / 19454

This Khotan antique rug measures 8' 1" x 15' 7" and presents a restrained field in pale neutral tones, softened by age into cream, white, and weathered grey. A layered border frames the composition with fine linear ornament, cloud-like curves, and small repeating motifs that read with quiet clarity. The surface shows medium distress, with faded areas and gentle variation that lend depth without overwhelming the design. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the measured balance and understated detail that define the Khotan tradition, along with a calm, tactile presence shaped by time.
