Floral Medallion Coral Wool 1880s Antique Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Large Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of a late 19th-century weaving showcases a vibrant field saturated in a luminous, variegated coral tone, often referred to as coral color rugs. The rich wool pile exhibits subtle abrash, highlighting the natural variation inherent in traditional dyeing techniques, lending the piece remarkable depth and visual texture. The monumental stepped medallion anchors the composition, rendered in deep indigo and navy blue, providing a striking contrast against the warm field. This central element, along with the corresponding spandrels, is densely populated with intricate arabesques and stylized blossoms, characteristic of sophisticated floral rugs from the period. The complexity of the knotting ensures that even the smallest motifs retain crisp definition.
