The composition centers around a floral medallion framed by scrolling garlands, ribbon motifs, and a deep border rendered in rich, traditional tones.
The color palette is soft and layered, with a warm vanilla ground accented by rose pink, ruby red, ecru, tan, sage green, and pale green. The deeper burgundy border anchors the design, while the lighter floral and ribbon elements add contrast and depth.

The textile is jacquard-woven rather than knotted, with the design woven directly into the fabric. This flat, tapestry-like construction allows for fine detail and an elegant surface, making the piece suitable for use as a decorative floor rug with a pad or as a wall hanging.

Based on materials, weaving method, and overall design, this piece dates to the mid-20th century (circa 1940s)
