Blue Rectangle Wool Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Antique 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This striking piece exemplifies the transition in textile design during the early 20th century, moving away from classical Persian models toward bolder, more stylized aesthetics. The hand-knotted wool pile ensures durability and a luxurious texture, characteristic of high-quality antique rugs from this period. The saturated field is rendered in a deep indigo, providing a dramatic contrast to the vibrant reds and soft creams used in the elaborate borders and medallions. This masterful use of color highlights the importance of blue color rugs in creating depth and grounding the complex iconography. The central design features two highly stylized floral medallions, balanced by delicate sprigs and traditional Chinese symbols.
