About the Item
Antique English Needlepoint Runner Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 2'6" × 8'5" (76 × 256 cm).
This exquisite antique English needlepoint runner from the 1920s embodies refined craftsmanship and classical design sensibilities. Measuring an impressive 17 feet in length, the runner showcases a beautifully articulated scrolling leaf motif, alternating with acanthus-like flourishes rendered in warm, earthy tones of gold, russet, olive, and moss green. Each design panel is neatly enclosed within thin, contrasting borders in red and blue, creating a rhythm and balance throughout the composition.
Framing the central motifs, a striking border features repeating starburst flowerheads set against a diamond lattice in black and crimson red—a classic design element frequently found in traditional English needlepoint textiles. This decorative edging enhances the linear silhouette of the piece and adds a vibrant pop of color to its more muted core palette.
Woven entirely by hand in wool, the runner displays the high level of precision and artistry characteristic of early 20th-century English textile work. It remains in very good condition, with minor age-appropriate wear consistent with its vintage. The sturdy yet refined construction makes it an ideal choice for a hallway, stairwell, or grand corridor, offering a sense of warmth, heritage, and understated elegance.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
