Khotan / 20584

This Khotan antique rug measures 6' 2" x 11' 2" and carries a quiet, timeworn presence in wool. A pale cream ground is softened by faded coral, muted gold, and brown accents, while the border sequence layers floral roundels, geometric blocks, and scrolling forms with restrained detail. The open field reads airy and gently washed, with visible fading and abrasion that give the composition depth and patina. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the enduring balance of Khotan design, where ornament and restraint meet in a composition that feels both grounded and luminous.
