About the Item
1920s English Needlepoint Rug with Floral Medallion Design
Size: 4'8" × 4'10" (142 × 147 cm)
This exquisite antique English needlepoint rug, circa 1920, radiates timeless elegance and craftsmanship. Handwoven in wool, the piece features a masterfully balanced central medallion composed of lush floral arrangements in delicate shades of rose, ivory, sage, cornflower blue, and lavender. Set against a dramatic black-brown field, the floral bouquet is framed by an architectural trompe-l'œil border resembling arched balustrades that add a sense of depth and grandeur to the composition.
The surrounding border continues the floral theme with garlands and bouquets rendered in soft pastels and anchored in scrolling acanthus leaves. Subtle lavender ribbons and blush-toned roses lend a painterly softness, creating a harmonious interplay of romanticism and symmetry.
Meticulously stitched with an astonishing degree of precision, this square-format needlepoint rug is a beautiful representation of English design sensibility in the early 20th century. Ideal as a statement piece in a sitting room, bedroom, or as a wall tapestry, it evokes a refined, graceful aesthetic characteristic of the Edwardian-to-Art Deco transition period.
Whether appreciated for its decorative appeal or its historical significance, this rug is a rare and collectible gem that seamlessly bridges traditional craftsmanship and decorative art.
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.
