Large Machine Loomed Floral Medallion Area Rug in Burgundy and Cream - A large room-size area rug featuring a traditional Persian-style design. The composition is centered around a complex floral medallion executed in cream, navy blue, rose, and sage green tones. This central motif is set against a saturated deep burgundy field, which is further decorated with scrolling foliate corner spandrels. A wide primary border surrounds the field, composed of dense floral patterns and interconnected scrolling vine motifs that echo the palette of the central medallion. The rug is constructed with a dense pile, likely composed of wool on a synthetic or cotton foundation. The construction is machine-loomed, evidenced by the uniform weave visible on the reverse and the fringe, which is a separate strip sewn onto the ends of the rug. A white adhesive tag attached to the rug bears the handwritten numerals 103 x 150.
