Khotan / 20589

This Khotan antique rug in wool measures 5' 0" x 9' 6" and carries a quiet balance of saturated red, brown, white, and cream over a softened grey-blue ground. The field is organized with repeating roundels and geometric vine forms, framed by multiple borders that deepen the composition without crowding it. Its surface shows low distress, with gentle wear and a faded patina that soften the drawing. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the restrained intricacy and warmth associated with Khotan weaving, rendered here with a calm, textural presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
