Antique Geometric Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece from the turn of the century presents a majestic field of saturated indigo. The deep hue creates a stunning backdrop for the intricate mythological imagery, placing it among the finest examples of blue color rugs. The design features a striking central medallion enclosing a powerful five-clawed dragon, flanked by four additional mythical beasts along the main axis. While the figures are fluid and curvilinear, the overall structure adheres to a disciplined, centralized layout characteristic of geometric rugs. This powerful symbolism speaks to imperial history and enduring good fortune. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious density and a soft sheen that only decades of careful preservation can achieve.
