1920s Handmade Antique Wool Floral Rug, Red & Navy, 313 × 396 cm - 1C1303

This handmade antique wool rug, dated circa the 1920s, features a rich red field filled with sweeping floral ornament. Scrolling arabesques connect flowering vines, elaborate palmettes and smaller blossoms across its generous rectangular surface. Fine ivory outlines trace the movement of the design, bringing definition to the densely patterned ground. Blue, pink, teal-green and golden-beige accents create depth without competing with the dominant red and navy palette. Rather than a single central medallion, this rug presents a continuous arrangement of interlocking floral forms. Curving stems travel between rounded blossoms, pointed leaves and broad palmettes, creating movement throughout the field. The repeated motifs give the composition a balanced rhythm while offering fresh details at close range. Ivory-edged navy curves help separate the individual flowers and foliage from the surrounding red. A broad navy border frames the red field with oversized blossoms and curling leaves. Pink, blue and warm beige details stand out against the dark ground, echoing colours found within the interior. Narrow rust-red decorative bands add warmth around the main border. Smaller patterned strips complete the frame and provide a transition between the expansive field and outer edges. Made from wool and described as hand-knotted, this rug combines tactile surface character with intricate floral drawing. Its dimensions of 313 × 396 cm offer substantial coverage for a spacious interior. The approximate proportions are 10.27 × 12.99 feet. Its broad format suits a large seating arrangement or dining area, where the layered borders can frame the furniture. The circa-1920s date is an approximate period attribution, not an exact documented production year. Good overall condition, with two areas of low pile. No holes or other damage are reported in the supplied condition details.
