A bold golden-yellow octagon anchors the composition within an ivory field. Contrasting red, blue, green, and navy details give the design a bright, strongly graphic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central octagon contains small geometric ornaments and hooked forms arranged around a red inner panel. Two contrasting square ornaments extend along its central axis. Their interlocking shapes repeat elements found elsewhere in the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Balanced Geometric Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour yellow square motifs occupy the corners of the ivory field. Branching red outlines extend from their edges, while smaller dark forms fill their interiors. Tiny scattered ornaments provide detail within the surrounding pale ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rectangular sequence of ornamental panels frames the yellow centre. Alternating ivory, navy, red, green, and yellow grounds carry curling, hooked motifs. Their repeated outlines create rhythm without making every panel identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDark triangular sections fill the spaces between the octagon and its rectangular frame. These areas contain closely repeated small marks in contrasting colours. The change in pattern scale adds texture around the larger central forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNavy Border and Bright Guard Bands\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe broad navy outer border carries angular multicoloured motifs spaced along its length. Red, green, ivory, and blue details stand clearly against the dark ground. Narrow yellow-and-red guard bands frame this border on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese repeated colours link the outer frame to the yellow centre and corner ornaments. The result is a balanced composition with several distinct layers of geometric pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHand-Knotted Wool Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rug is handmade and hand-knotted in wool. A folded-corner photograph shows the reverse weave beside the patterned face. The surface retains visible wool pile, with variations in height and shading across the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 170.2 × 223.5 cm, it offers a broad rectangular format. Its central octagon and four corner ornaments remain clearly readable from a distance, while smaller details reward closer examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood overall vintage condition, with light surface wear and variations in pile height. Shading and colour variation are visible across the wool surface. The side edges show minor wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown fringe remnants are uneven, with some loose fibres and irregular end sections.
