Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Wool Ivory Beige Cream White Antique Allover Floral 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite hand-knotted wool piece, dating from the early 20th century, presents a sophisticated interpretation of classical European textile designs. The field utilizes an allover floral pattern, creating a dense, harmonious visual texture ideal for anchoring a refined interior space.

The palette is deliberately restrained, featuring a luminous ground of ivory and cream tones. Against this neutral canvas, stylized urns and scrolling foliage are rendered in soft sage and olive greens, evoking the formal garden aesthetic popular in the period. This subtle chromatic arrangement ensures versatility while maintaining visual depth.

A striking contrast is introduced by the wide, dusty rose border, which frames the central field with bold, architectural precision. This frame is richly detailed with complex cartouches and stylized zoomorphic elements, characteristic of Spanish revival designs. The substantial scale of this piece is consistent with its room-size format, designed to define and unify large reception areas.

Woven with high-quality pile wool, this piece exhibits the durability and luxurious texture expected of fine antique rugs. Its blend of neoclassical structure and early Art Deco coloring makes it a compelling example of transitional textile artistry from the 1930s. See less
