Antique East Turkestan Allover Pomegranate Design Wool Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: East Turkestan, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional hand-knotted textile from the early Republican era represents a vibrant departure from traditional court designs. Its robust wool pile and masterful construction confirm its status as a highly collectible piece among antique rugs. The primary field is dominated by a rich, saturated coral hue, providing a striking backdrop for the intricate decorative elements. The composition utilizes an allover pattern of stylized floral medallions and geometric sprigs, creating a dynamic, repeating rhythm that fills the entire surface without relying on a central medallion. Characteristic of the finest East Turkestan rugs of this period, the palette is bold yet harmonious, incorporating shades of cerise, lavender, soft yellow, and deep charcoal.
