Room Size Rugs (7.0ft x 8.07ft), Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional textile exemplifies the enduring artistry found in antique rugs of the early 20th century. Woven entirely from high-quality wool, its robust construction suggests a piece intended for longevity and daily use, retaining remarkable saturation despite its age.

The commanding central field is rendered in a rich, deep indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the riotous display of stylized botanical forms. Accents of salmon, russet red, and olive green are meticulously integrated, ensuring the depth of the primary blue color rugs remains the focal point while adding complexity and visual warmth to the composition.

Characteristic of sophisticated village weaving traditions, the composition employs an intricate, continuous vine scroll that fills the entire plane. This allover rugs pattern avoids a central medallion, allowing the eye to wander freely across the dense tapestry of blossoms, palmettes, and branching stems, creating a sense of boundless natural growth.

A series of carefully articulated borders frames the dynamic field, utilizing contrasting tones of ivory and brick red to define the edges and balance the intense central coloring. Given its substantial dimensions, this piece is perfectly suited as a foundational element for grand living spaces, categorized among the finest room size rugs available from this period. See less
