Antique Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This striking example of early 20th-century weaving presents a saturated, almost indigo field, characteristic of fine Chinese blue color rugs from the period. The deep hue provides a dramatic backdrop for the meticulously rendered motifs. The composition is centered around a complex, stepped medallion featuring interlocking fretwork, a classic element of East Asian design. This emphasis on structure and repetition places the piece firmly within the tradition of geometric rugs, offering a sense of balance and architectural stability to any interior. A sophisticated border system frames the central field, utilizing the Greek Key or Meander pattern in varying shades of light blue and white.
