Antique Allover Geometric Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This compelling hand-knotted wool piece from the 1920s showcases a refined, highly stylized design. The field utilizes an allover geometric pattern, where repeating, almost cruciform motifs are distributed evenly across the light ground, creating visual balance and depth.

The palette is defined by a sophisticated contrast between the soft, luminous ground and the striking, saturated blue of the motifs. The field is rendered in delicate tones of ivory beige cream white, providing a neutral canvas that highlights the precision of the geometric figures. This limited color scheme ensures the rug maintains a sense of restraint and elegance, suitable for diverse interior styles.

Characteristic of early 20th-century weaving, the construction features a durable wool pile, hand-knotted to ensure longevity. The border frames the central design with multiple guard stripes containing smaller, repeating floral and angular elements, a common feature in high-quality antique rugs. The distinct, almost primitive quality of the drawing suggests a village or nomadic origin, lending it unique character.

Its dimensions categorize it as a versatile small scatter size (4ft x 5.07ft), making it ideal for placement in hallways, beside beds, or as an accent piece in a study. This piece is not merely floor covering; it is a historical textile artifact, offering a subtle yet powerful statement of enduring design and craftsmanship. See less
