Antique Allover Geometric Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1850s Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This remarkable piece, dating to the mid-19th century, showcases a striking contrast between the deep madder red border and the luminous central field. The ground is defined by a beautiful palette of ivory beige cream white, which perfectly highlights the stylized geometric and botanical motifs. The design employs a highly structured, repeating pattern of stylized Trees of Life and palmettes, rendered with a powerful, almost primitive geometry. This dense composition creates an impressive visual texture characteristic of allover rugs, where the focus is distributed evenly across the entire surface. The construction is robust, utilizing a durable, hand-knotted wool pile. The narrow, elongated format of this textile suggests it was originally intended for a specific architectural space.
