Spotted deer occupy either end of a deep blue field, surrounded by leafy branches and smaller animal motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIvory accents distinguish the antlers, facial details and spots against the darker ground. Softer blue passages lend depth to the foliage and border, creating a restrained palette with varied tonal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpotted Deer and Stylised Foliage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two principal deer face into the composition, their branching antlers and spotted bodies giving each figure a distinctive silhouette. Their placement balances the elongated field without relying on a central medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStylised branches carry angular ivory leaves through the middle and along the sides. Smaller animal forms appear between the foliage and larger deer, adding detail that becomes clearer at close range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design alternates between pale leaf shapes and open blue ground. This spacing allows the individual motifs to remain readable despite their compact arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Geometric Blue Frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broad fretwork border surrounds the pictorial field with repeating diagonal and angular forms. Layered blue tones define the pattern without introducing additional colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA narrow ivory outline and dotted inner band separate the border from the central scene. Stepped corner details provide another geometric accent beside the deer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between angular framing and expressive animal drawing gives the rug its decorative identity. Both elements remain visible in the overall views and detailed photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHand-Knotted Wool and Compact Proportions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supplied construction is handmade and hand-knotted, using wool. A folded-corner photograph shows the reverse weave and edge detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 67 × 131 cm, the rug has compact, elongated proportions. It can provide a decorative accent beside a bed, in a study or within a small entrance area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe early-1900s date is an approximate period attribution rather than a documented production year. The photographs show colour differences across the surface and between viewing angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood overall condition, with age-related pile wear, colour variation and uneven fringes.
