Khotan / 22390

This Khotan antique rug, measuring 4' 4" x 8' 5", carries a quietly layered field of violet-purple and muted red, balanced by beige and ivory accents. A central medallion anchors the composition, while urn-like floral forms, compact geometric motifs, and a finely worked border create a measured, rhythmic surface. The drawing feels softened by age, yet the overall structure remains clear and expressive. Circa 1900 - 1920, it offers the kind of restrained warmth and patina that gives an antique rug its depth, with low visible distress and a timeworn elegance that reads as collected rather than ornate.
