Antique 1920s Hand Knotted Pile Wool Ivory Beige Cream White Allover Geometric Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This distinctive piece, woven from hand-knotted wool, features a sophisticated palette dominated by subtle tones of ivory, beige, and cream. The composition is anchored by a central, scalloped medallion that interrupts the otherwise continuous field pattern.
The primary field is characterized by a tightly rendered, repeating quatrefoil lattice in shades of aged tan and brown, establishing a quiet, textural backdrop. This subtle density, which covers the entire surface, defines the piece as an allover geometric design, a popular choice for its visual continuity and grounding effect.
Within the soft, ivory-hued cartouche, a carefully composed still life unfolds, featuring a deep indigo vase holding stylized pink blossoms, flanked by various symbolic objects. This juxtaposition of the pictorial center against the abstract background is a hallmark of fine antique rugs from this transitional era.
Dating precisely to the 1920s, this hand-knotted wool piece retains a desirable, aged patina that enhances its subtle color shifts. Its modest dimensions classify it perfectly as a small scatter size (4.04ft x 6.1ft), making it an exceptionally versatile accent rug ideal for an entryway, study, or intimate seating area.
