This handmade wool rug from the 1950s features blue rosettes, curling leaves and delicate diamond-shaped floral motifs against an ivory ground. Soft pink, burgundy and muted green accents lend warmth to the finely detailed composition. Its all-over pattern creates an elegant balance between a light background and richly coloured ornament.
Design and Craftsmanship
Rather than concentrating the design around a single medallion, this rug carries its floral pattern across the entire field. Blue rosettes alternate with curling leaves and diamond-shaped floral details, creating a continuous decorative rhythm.
The ivory ground allows the individual motifs to stand out without making the composition feel heavy. Smaller accents in pink, burgundy and muted green introduce gentle variation within the predominantly blue design. The result is intricate yet balanced, with details that invite a closer look.
Borders and Colour
Layered floral borders surround the field, continuing its decorative language while giving the composition a clear frame. A deep navy outer band adds definition and contrasts with the lighter centre. Light fringes finish the ends.
Beige joins the ivory, blue and warmer accents to create a varied palette. The navy edge offers a particularly effective counterpoint to the delicate floral details. This contrast helps the rug remain visually distinct alongside both light and dark furnishings.
Material and Character
Hand-knotted in wool, this rug combines handmade construction with the timeworn appearance of a piece dating to the 1950s. Areas of low pile give the surface a gently aged character.
Measuring 98 × 145 cm, it provides decorative detail within a compact footprint. Beside a bed, it can introduce pattern without dominating the room. In a study or small seating area, its ivory and blue composition offers a quiet focal point.
Condition
Low pile with age-related wear. The surface has a gently timeworn appearance, as described. Please review the photographs carefully for a closer assessment of the pile, borders, edges and fringes.

The all-over floral design gives this rug a different character from a centrally focused medallion piece. Blue rosettes and curling leaves create movement across the ivory ground. Its layered borders and navy outer band bring that movement into a neatly framed composition.
