1920s handmade antique wool medallion rug, red & navy, 298 × 411 cm - 1C1302

This handmade antique wool rug, dated circa the 1920s, features a brilliant red field with an ornate navy medallion. The surface is filled with flowering vines, rosettes, and curling leaves, creating an intricate composition with a strong central focus. Measuring 298 × 411 cm, it offers generous proportions and a richly layered palette. The design balances a commanding centre with detailed borders, giving the entire surface a cohesive decorative rhythm. The navy medallion encloses an ivory arabesque centre and a sky-blue floral heart, with scalloped outlines and small blossoms enriching the dark ground. Elongated floral pendants extend above and below the centre, connecting the medallion to the red field. The corners echo the centre with scalloped navy shapes, ivory ornament, and sky-blue accents. A broad navy border carries scrolling vines, large palmettes, and smaller flower heads, framed by narrower sky-blue and ivory bands. Pink, olive-green, and golden-yellow details add variety to the dominant red and navy palette. Made from hand-knotted wool, this rug brings tactile interest and detailed floral drawing. Good overall condition, with no specific restoration history supplied.
