About the Item
1950s European Needlework Rug
Size: 9'7" × 10'0" (292 × 304 cm)
Vibrant and meticulously detailed, this 1950s European needlepoint rug exudes mid-century elegance with its vivid palette and graphic floral arrangements. Each octagonal panel features a central bouquet of lush roses, peonies, and foliage, rendered in bold shades of crimson, pink, ivory, gold, and green, set against a deep black background that enhances their dramatic impact.
The layout is symmetrical and structured, with each floral cluster framed by a geometric lattice of rich rust and amber borders, punctuated by stylized medallions at the intersections. The combination of naturalistic floral imagery with a refined grid framework creates a dynamic interplay between romantic softness and architectural order.
Executed in fine wool using traditional hand-stitching techniques, the rug showcases the enduring artistry of European needlework traditions. The use of high-contrast colors and pixelated precision recalls the visual richness of petit-point embroidery, making it as much a visual artwork as a floor textile.
Ideal for interiors seeking a bold, vintage character, this rug works beautifully in eclectic, traditional, or maximalist design schemes.
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.
