ntique Cotton Ivory Beige Cream White Hooked - Loop Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece, likely American in origin, represents a charming departure from traditional woven textiles. Crafted using a meticulous hooked technique, the cotton pile provides a soft, textural depth rarely seen in standard antique rugs.

The circular form is dominated by a warm, luminous field, defined by an elegant ivory and beige color palette. Subtle variations in the loop pile create a gentle, undulating ground, giving the impression of movement beneath the decorative elements. This neutral base ensures the rug retains an airy sophistication suitable for contemporary or traditional settings.

The design employs an intricate allover pattern of naturalistic motifs, featuring abundant bouquets of roses and smaller blossoms interspersed with charming depictions of birds in flight. These elements are often anchored by stylized urns or vases placed symmetrically around the perimeter, lending the composition a sense of balanced, yet organic, formality.

Its unusual circular dimension and generous scale make it a commanding focal point, capable of defining a seating area or anchoring a grand foyer. This piece transcends typical floor coverings, offering both the durability of cotton and the artistic merit expected of an oversized room-size textile from the early 20th century. See less
