1920s Hand Knotted Pile Oval Antique Blue Wool Floral Medallion Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece captures the bold, stylized elegance characteristic of the Art Deco period. Its lush wool pile and distinctive color palette make it a standout among antique rugs, offering both historical provenance and enduring aesthetic appeal. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated teal, placing it firmly within the desirable category of blue color rugs. This vibrant ground provides a stunning contrast to the deep black oval that frames the medallion area. The high-contrast hues and the deliberate use of negative space are hallmarks of early 20th-century design innovation, ensuring this rug serves as a powerful focal point. A dense, stylized wreath of blossoms encircles the central field, showcasing soft pinks, peaches, and subtle purples.
