$110,500.00

Antique Large Geometric Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving presents a striking visual depth characteristic of the finest antique rugs from the period. The rich, saturated indigo field provides a dramatic backdrop for the meticulously rendered design elements, showcasing the sophisticated palette favored by Imperial workshops. The field is grounded by a subtle, interlocking lattice pattern, a sophisticated example of geometric rugs that provides texture without distracting from the central motifs. This deep midnight hue is a classic shade found in high-status weavings of the era, emphasizing tranquility and permanence through its masterful use of negative space. A series of eight circular medallions, accented by a larger central roundel, punctuate the field.
