Antique Geometric Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Coral 1750s Rug, Circa Date: 1750s. This exquisite textile offers a rare glimpse into 18th-century weaving, characterized by its soft, aged field. The primary hue is a muted coral, a highly sought-after shade that has mellowed beautifully over nearly three centuries. The design is anchored by a central medallion and complementary corner spandrels executed in deep indigo blue, providing striking contrast against the pale ground. The overall composition relies on highly stylized, abstract forms, placing it firmly within the tradition of geometric rugs. The key-fret border frames the composition with disciplined precision, characteristic of early East Asian design influences. Woven entirely in resilient wool, the low, dense pile speaks to the longevity and quality of 18th-century production.
