About the Item

Antique circa 1890 French Neoclassical hand-woven wool rug, 12'9" x 18'4" (153 x 220 in), in blue tones. Condition: good, wear consistent with age and use. Overall Good Condition. Antique Wool Rectangle Blue Large Hand Knotted Pile Floral Medallion 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This magnificent example of late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of decorative antique rugs. Its generous scale and refined palette suggest a commission for a grand European interior, echoing the elegance of the Belle Époque era and the enduring appeal of neoclassical design. The composition is dominated by a striking contrast between the field and the border. A soft, expansive central oval medallion, rendered in a muted periwinkle, defines the primary aesthetic. This serene blue color rugs field is framed by an intricate border of pale ivory and cream, creating visual depth without sacrificing sophistication. The border showcases classical ornamentation typical of the period, featuring delicate scrolling acanthus leaves and stylized cartouches. Within these oval reserves are finely detailed neoclassical emblems, including stylized urns and lyres, interspersed with subtle floral elements. The overall effect is one of controlled opulence, perfectly suited for formal settings. Hand-knotted using luxurious wool pile, the texture retains a beautiful, soft patina commensurate with its age. As a significant large oversized big rug, this piece is designed to anchor a major reception room, providing both historical gravitas and unparalleled decorative presence.
