Antique Caucasian Geometric Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece represents the enduring artistry of Caucasian weaving, characterized by its robust construction and powerful design vocabulary. The hand-knotted wool pile exhibits the characteristic tribal density and rich texture sought after in textiles from this region. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated indigo, placing it among the most desirable blue color rugs of the period. This deep hue provides a striking contrast to the madder reds and natural ivory tones utilized in the intricate motifs, highlighting the masterful use of vegetable dyes that have matured beautifully over the last century. The composition centers on a bold, stepped medallion rendered in warm gold and deep red, surrounded by highly stylized figures and stars.
