Antique Allover Geometric Wool Hand Knotted Pile Coral 1850s Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional 19th-century weaving presents a remarkable field saturated in a luminous, faded hue. The central ground is dominated by a delicate coral tone, providing a warm, ethereal backdrop for the geometric motifs. The design employs an elegant allover geometric arrangement, characterized by dozens of perfectly spaced circular medallions. These roundels, rendered in deep indigo and pale blue, contain intricate lattice work and stylized floral elements typical of East Asian textile art. The repetition creates a sense of measured harmony across the surface. Contrasting sharply with the gentle field, the complex border structure features multiple guards, including a striking Greek key meander and a secondary band of finely woven geometric trellis work in sage green and midnight blue.
