Khotan / 20569

This Khotan antique rug, 6' 0" x 11' 1", is woven in wool with a softly weathered field and a restrained, timeworn palette of cream, grey, and faded red. The open composition is animated by small geometric emblems, rosettes, and stepped forms, all held within a layered floral border. Its surface shows medium distress, with gentle fading and visible wear that soften the drawing and lend the piece a quiet, archival presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the balanced ornament and faded elegance associated with antique rug design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
