1920s Hand Knotted Pile Antique Rectangle Wool Black Floral Medallion Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This striking example of Art Deco design presents a dramatic contrast inherent in many fine antique rugs. The dense wool pile features a profound black ground, allowing the single, central medallion to float with exceptional clarity. The rug's design is characterized by a bold, symmetrical central motif rendered in a rich, contrasting beige or gold hue. This intricate scrollwork and stylized foliage stand out dramatically against the velvety depth of the field, making it a powerful statement piece among black color rugs. While the structure is highly stylized, the core pattern remains rooted in traditional floral rugs patterns, utilizing stylized leaves and vines to create a sense of movement and opulence.
