The Antique Large French Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug is an exceptional piece from the late 19th-century French weaving tradition. Hand-knotted in fine wool, this square rug features a soft ivory field that serves as a canvas for intricate Rococo-inspired cartouches and scrolling acanthus leaves. A magnificent central medallion showcases lush floral bouquets, framed by stylized architectural borders for a balanced, symmetrical design. With a low 0.25-inch pile height, this textile offers a refined aesthetic characterized by a restrained palette of ivory, tan, and white. Originating from France circa the 1880s, this large-format rug provides unparalleled visual impact for discerning interior design schemes, serving as an enduring work of textile art.
