Vintage Medallion Wool Rug: 3.3x1.1 ft, Hand-Knotted Tribal Design

Experience the warmth of true craftsmanship with this vintage hand-knotted wool rug, sized at 99 x 60 cm (3.3 x 1.11 ft). This piece brings together striking colors, bold geometric design, and authentic village weaving traditions perfect as a statement accent for your entryway, kitchen, study, or any space craving genuine character.

This beautiful rug stands out with its diamond-shaped central medallion, surrounded by a rich, deep red field and bordered in classic navy and golden ochre. The rug is densely hand-knotted using high-quality wool, and the patterns are lively and full of heritage, drawing on generations of traditional artistry.

Floral and angular motifs fill both the main field and borders, echoing centuries-old symbolism of protection, unity, and abundance. The lively color palette deep reds, navy blue, ivory, and gold reflects both the weaver’s skill and a culture that celebrates bold design. The ends are finished with original fringes, and the sides with sturdy selvages, indicating careful hand-finishing.

Judging from the construction quality and the mild, natural wear visible in the pile and fringes, this rug dates to the late 20th century, around the 1980s–1990s. It remains in excellent vintage condition, with vibrant colors and no significant repairs or stains.
