Khotan / 20597

This Khotan antique rug, 6' 7" x 12' 0", carries a weathered red field softened by cream, white, and neutral accents. A restrained layout of medallion forms, small floral details, and geometric motifs sits within a layered border, giving the composition a quiet balance. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and abrasion that flatten the palette into a tactile, timeworn finish. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the measured ornament and faded warmth often associated with antique Khotan weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
