Khotan / 20581

This Khotan antique rug measures 4' 0" x 8' 4" and carries a calm, timeworn presence in wool. A faded cream field is scattered with delicate floral and abstract motifs, framed by a red geometric inner border and a broader floral outer border. The palette moves between dusty rose, softened red, brown, and pale neutral tones, giving the surface a quietly layered depth. Circa 1885 - 1900, the rug shows medium distress with visible wear and a gently muted finish that adds to its character without obscuring the composition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
