Antique Israeli Marbediah Rug, Israel, Early 20th Century – Created in Israel, this antique Marbediah rug features a striking combination of fiery aniline red paired with accents in cobalt and ivory. Repeating medallions with club-like extensions that extend off the field complement the geometric background pattern, which is comprised of small-scale repeats and floral motifs flanked by arching swags. Traditional guard bands featuring tomato-red floral motifs paired with blue vine scrolls encircle the fiery red field alongside matching borders decorated with cabbage roses featuring carefully outlined petals rendered in contrasting shades of cobalt blue and soft pink.
