Antique Floral Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite piece represents the finest tradition of antique rugs. Its deeply saturated field color provides a stunning backdrop for the intricate design work, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of the period. The central medallion is rendered in soft apricot and cream tones, creating a striking contrast against the rich, inky blue color rugs that dominates the field. The careful arrangement of the scattered bouquets suggests a highly refined aesthetic sensibility typical of late 19th-century weaving centers. Characterized by a generous scale, this piece is perfectly suited for grand interiors, offering the substantial coverage expected of room size rugs. The wool pile remains luxurious and soft, a testament to the quality of the original materials and the fine knotting technique employed.
