Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Floral Medallion Ivory Beige Cream White 1890s Antique Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite example of late 19th-century weaving presents a sophisticated palette and delicate composition, characteristic of the finest antique rugs. The wool pile is finely knotted, offering a soft texture that has aged beautifully over more than a century. The central field is dominated by a gentle wash of ivory, beige, cream, white tones, providing a luminous backdrop for the scattered Chinese auspicious symbols and delicate sprays. A subtle central medallion anchors the composition without overpowering the open space, allowing the nuanced details of the scattered motifs to be appreciated. The design utilizes a classic Chinese structure, featuring deep indigo borders framing the lighter field.
