Khotan / 20582

This Khotan antique rug measures 4' 1" x 8' 5" and carries a restrained, timeworn palette of dusty mauve, lavender grey, cream, and pale gold. An allover botanical field sits within a narrow geometric border, while the outer border reads with softened detail and gentle wear. The surface shows moderate fading and scattered abrashed colour shifts that lend depth to the composition. Its long, narrow format and quiet floral language feel balanced and composed, with enough age to soften the pattern without losing its structure. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
