About the Item

Antique European needlepoint rug, size: 13'6"x 19'0". Discover the elegance of this stunning 19th-century French needlepoint carpet, a true work of art that brings historical charm to any space. Handcrafted with meticulous detail, this rug is a testament to the sophisticated needlework that flourished in France during this period. The carpet features a striking all-over geometric pattern that creates a captivating mosaic floor effect. It is composed of repeating circular medallions, each centered with a detailed floral bouquet in hues of green, pink, yellow gold, and deep brown against a light background. These medallions are interconnected by a trellis of eight-pointed star motifs in a soft, pale green and a vibrant coral-pink, providing a beautiful contrast. The entire composition is framed by a complementary border featuring smaller, intricate motifs. This piece is a genuine needlepoint rug, created by stitching wool yarn through a canvas ground, a technique known for producing crisp lines and a clean, tailored surface, often referred to as "paintings you can walk on". The characteristic tent stitch or gross point method was likely used to achieve its durable, low, and even surface. Dating back to approximately 1870, this carpet embodies the refined taste of the era, potentially drawing inspiration from Neoclassical design traditions with its structured, formal motifs. As an antique item from the 1870s, the rug may show wear consistent with age and use, which adds to its unique character and historical value. Such large-scale, well-preserved examples of French needlepoint are a rare find. This exceptional carpet offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of European textile history, perfect for adding warmth, texture, and a story to a discerning collector's home.
