Floral-Style Traditional Handmade Rug With Water Lily Medallion In Cream Beige “Nymphaea” N11868 7'2" × 9'10" $15,000

With its sky-blue field and softly glowing ivory framework, Nymphaea reimagines the Sultanabad medallion as a light, botanical composition. A centered floral crest blooms outward in mirrored vines, scrolling arabesques, and delicate blossoms, giving the hand-knotted wool rug a graceful sense of rhythm without crowding the surface.

The name is fitting: the serene palette and radiating floral form evoke a water lily in bloom, which suits the rug’s tranquil, decorative character. Around the field, a broad floral border and narrow guard motifs contain the design with clarity, while touches of red, soft peach, and muted blue add depth to the otherwise airy palette. The result is traditional pattern rendered with a fresher, more relaxed hand.

Woven in wool, this traditional floral rug offers the warmth and durability designers look for in a foundation piece. Its balanced medallion layout, botanical detailing, and gently aged visual texture make it especially effective in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a calm yet articulated contemporary rug can anchor the interior.
