About the Item

Antique 1880s European Needlework Rug – Floral Symphony in Pastel Harmony Size: 11'0" × 14'10" (335 × 452 cm) This exquisite 1880s European needlework rug is a breathtaking example of 19th-century artistry, blending the fine tradition of hand embroidery with timeless elegance. Masterfully executed in wool, the piece showcases an ornate floral composition that bursts with vitality and movement across a soft parchment ground. A captivating celebration of nature, the rug is resplendent with blooming tulips, stylized peonies, pomegranates, and leafy vines — all rendered in a vibrant yet harmonious palette of coral, persimmon, blush pink, celadon, goldenrod, and aubergine. At its heart lies an elaborately scrolled medallion in sun-faded tangerine, framed by an exuberant profusion of florals that radiate outward. The design is expertly framed by a coral-hued border filled with simplified botanical motifs, lending visual balance and containment to the lush interior. The rug’s large scale and pictorial richness make it ideal as a statement piece for grand interiors or refined salons. What truly sets this rug apart is its technique. Crafted using needlepoint embroidery—a meticulous, time-intensive method involving tightly stitched wool yarns on a canvas backing—it achieves remarkable clarity and dimensionality in both pattern and color. The textile surface reveals subtle irregularities and charming evidence of handwork, best appreciated up close. Whether appreciated for its historical value, artisanal technique, or decorative impact, this antique needlework rug stands as a testament to Europe’s decorative arts heritage and the enduring beauty of floral design. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
