Antique Wool & Silk Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving showcases a luxurious blend of fine wool and lustrous silk, lending a soft sheen to the deeply saturated dyes. The luminous ground, characterized by its stunning ivory beige cream white color, provides a perfect canvas for the intricate botanical motifs. The design employs a sophisticated Tree of Life structure, repeated across the field to create an immersive, continuous garden scene. This dense, repeating composition is a masterful example of an allover pattern, where detailed flowering vines and stylized cypress trees rise from the base, symbolizing eternal life and fertility. The use of silk highlights the delicate leaves and blossoms, adding dimensionality and texture to the complex iconography.
