Khotan / 20572

This Khotan antique rug measures 2' 0" x 4' 2" and presents a tall, lyrical tree-of-life composition set within a narrow floral border. The cream ground is animated by burgundy branches, muted blue stems, and warm brown detailing, creating a balanced, time-softened contrast. Botanical motifs repeat through the field with an orderly, hand-drawn rhythm, while the border frames the design with subtle complexity. Circa 1900 - 1920, the wool pile shows low distress, gentle fading, and a quiet patina that lends the piece its grounded character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
