Antique Allover Geometric Cotton Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This captivating piece from the mid-century transition period showcases a distinctly modern sensibility, utilizing a highly stylized allover geometric design. The composition avoids traditional medallions, instead presenting a dynamic, repeating field of abstract motifs that speak to the emerging artistic trends of the era.

The foundation of this textile is defined by its serene and versatile ivory beige cream white palette, providing a luminous backdrop for the playful accents. Hand-knotted entirely in cotton, the texture offers a unique, soft handle and a matte finish, allowing the subtle shifts in color—from soft pastels like rose and pale blue to deeper notes of sage and ochre—to resonate without excessive sheen.

Characterized by bold, almost graphic shapes—including stylized arrows, hourglass forms, and interlocking octagons—the design is both whimsical and structured. Such pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs who appreciate the blend of traditional knotting techniques with avant-garde aesthetics that defined the 1930s production.

With its expansive dimensions, this textile functions perfectly as a central room size rug, anchoring a large living space or dining area. The cotton construction ensures durability while maintaining a light visual presence, making it an ideal choice for contemporary interiors seeking a historic yet vibrantly patterned foundation.
