Floral Medallion Blue Antique 1920s Large Wool Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Rug

Floral Medallion Blue Antique 1920s Large Wool Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving presents a striking aesthetic defined by its profound indigo field. The use of this deep blue color creates a dramatic backdrop, allowing the intricate design elements to emerge with clarity and depth, characteristic of the finest antique rugs from this period. The central design eschews traditional geometric symmetry for a graceful, oversized oval medallion shape. This expansive field is framed by a sophisticated taupe-and-salmon border system, rich with symbolic Chinese motifs, including stylized pagodas and weeping willows. The main field itself is sparsely adorned with floating vases, fans, and butterflies, adding movement and delicacy to the composition.
