Lot 636: A Hand-Knotted Wool Pile Area Rug with Central Medallion Design
A hand-knotted wool pile area rug, likely of Indo-Persian origin. The design features a prominent diamond-shaped central medallion with a multi-layered floral and geometric interior rendered in shades of cream, mauve, and ochre. This central motif is set against a solid duck-egg blue field. The rug is finished with a wide main border composed of alternating rectangular and square cartouches containing stylized floral motifs, flanked by narrower guard stripes. It is constructed with a dense wool pile on a cotton foundation, finishing with a short white cotton fringe at the ends.
Dimensions not provided.
Condition report:
The rug is currently stored in a folded state. Visible surface dust and light soiling are present, consistent with storage. The pile appears to be in generally good condition with some minor, even wear. The fringe is largely intact but shows slight discoloration and minor fraying at the edges.
