About the Item
Antique English Axminster Botanical Rug
Size: 11'4" × 15'3" (345 × 464 cm)
This remarkable antique Axminster rug from early 19th-century England embodies the refined elegance and decorative mastery of British carpet weaving during the Regency period. Woven circa 1820, the rug reflects the influence of neoclassical aesthetics, characterized by rich color palettes, intricate detailing, and botanical motifs drawn from nature.
The expansive field is adorned with an allover arrangement of large, stylized medallions, each framed by scrolling foliage and floral bursts. The saturated crimson ground creates a vivid backdrop that enhances the intricate symmetry and visual rhythm of the pattern. Shades of olive green, midnight blue, ivory, and coral harmonize to deliver a sense of opulence and depth.
Surrounding the central design, the border is equally compelling—featuring a succession of floral rosettes and leaf scrolls framed by narrow guard stripes. The bold interplay between organic motifs and formal geometry is a hallmark of Axminster craftsmanship, which sought to rival the luxurious French Savonnerie tradition.
Hand-knotted in fine wool, this piece offers a dense, velvety pile with a supple texture. Despite its age, the rug has aged gracefully and retains a good condition, with subtle patina and minor surface wear that add authenticity and charm.
Antique Axminster rugs are rare survivors of British textile heritage, prized for their historical significance and visual sophistication. This particular example, with its scale and intricate design, would make a stunning focal point in a grand interior—equally suited to classical, traditional, or eclectic décor.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this antique rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
