Khotan / 25844

This Khotan antique rug measures 2' 6" x 13' 6" and reads as a serene, elongated plane of ivory and cream with barely-there grey nuance. The design is intentionally restrained, with a soft open field, subtle linear ghosting, and only a trace of border definition left visible through age. Its high distress gives the surface a hushed, weathered tactility, while the narrow format reinforces the calm, architectural feel. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the quiet elegance and faded clarity often found in well-worn Khotan pieces. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
