This handmade vintage wool rug from the 1950s features a bold navy medallion with stepped edges against a rich red field. Stylised flowers fill the centre and surrounding field, with pink, soft green, blue, and golden-yellow accents bringing lively detail to the composition.
Design and Craftsmanship
The navy medallion anchors the composition with its stepped edges, a crisp architectural form at the heart of the rich red field. Stylised flowers fill the centre and spread across the surrounding field, each rendered in the confident hand of a skilled weaver. Pink, soft green, blue, and golden-yellow accents bring lively detail throughout, giving the design depth and movement in every corner.
Material and Character
The rug is hand-knotted in wool, with a pile that carries the texture and warmth only handmade pieces offer. Ivory floral corners and a rosette-patterned border provide a light contrast to the deeper colours, framing the field with an authentic, finished look.
Condition
In good vintage condition, with the pile, borders, and fringes presenting well for its age. Please review the photos carefully, as they form part of the description.
