Antique Floral Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1870s Rug, Circa Date: 1870s. This exquisite 19th-century weaving presents a highly refined aesthetic, characteristic of the finest Persian production of the period. The expansive, open field is dominated by a ivory Beige Cream White palette, allowing the complex central design to float gracefully above the subtle ground. The focal point is a grand, layered medallion rendered in sophisticated shades of terracotta, soft blue, and deep indigo. This intricate structure is supported by delicate spandrels in the corners, which mirror the central floral motifs without overcrowding the field, a testament to the weaver's masterful balance of density and negative space. The finely articulated border system frames the composition with a dense, repeating vine and palmette pattern, providing a rich contrast to the light field.
