1890s Coral / Salmon Pink Hand Knotted Pile Wool Square Geometric Medallion Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This striking late 19th-century weaving showcases the robust character typical of Caucasian production. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated coral hue, complemented by accents of deep forest green and creamy ivory. The masterful use of natural dyes creates a vibrant, warm effect, placing this piece among the most desirable salmon coral pink color rugs of its era.

The design centers on a series of bold, stepped medallions rendered in ivory and gold, framed by complex, angular hooks and stylized motifs. This composition is a superb example of traditional tribal artistry, where every element holds symbolic meaning rooted in nomadic culture. The density and complexity of the repeating patterns confirm its classification among traditional geometric rugs, prioritizing structure and line over naturalistic representation.

Woven with resilient hand-spun wool, the pile retains excellent integrity, testifying to the durability inherent in these regional weavings. While many pieces from this area are smaller, this example offers substantial coverage, making it an ideal choice for integrating genuine historical texture into modern interiors. Its generous proportions qualify it as one of the finer room size rugs available from the late 19th century. (Note: Dimensions are approximately 6.08ft x 7.09ft).

This rug is more than merely a floor covering; it is a meticulously preserved artifact of textile history, displaying the powerful, earthy palette and intricate knotting techniques of the Caucasus. It represents a rare opportunity for collectors seeking authentic provenance and exceptional visual impact, joining our curated selection of exemplary antique rugs. See less
