About the Item
Antique English Axminster Rug
Size: 13'9" × 19'9" (419 × 601 cm)
This elegant early 20th-century English Axminster rug is a masterful example of period craftsmanship, echoing the romantic sensibilities of the Arts and Crafts movement. Its visual harmony stems from a carefully rendered all-over pattern of stylized floral motifs that gracefully ripple across a rich terracotta field. The design structure is subtly geometric, with blossoms arranged in staggered rows that create a sense of rhythm and refinement.
What distinguishes this rug is its striking yet nuanced color palette. Warm russet and brick tones dominate the background, while the pattern is softly illuminated by rose-pink floral medallions, golden ochre leaves, and cobalt blue accents that add refreshing depth and contrast. These colors, though bold, are skillfully softened by the patina of age, creating a sophisticated, time-worn elegance.
The border frames the central design with a repeating pattern of stylized flowers and abstract vines, reinforcing the balance and cohesion of the composition. The intricate detailing—particularly in the small floral clusters and curling vine work—reflects the influence of traditional Persian rugs while remaining distinctly English in tone and execution.
Woven with fine wool, this Axminster rug remains in remarkable condition for its age. The pile has aged beautifully, adding texture and authenticity without compromising the legibility of the design. It’s a piece that speaks not only to the aesthetic ideals of its era but also to the exceptional quality of English textile production in the early 20th century.
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.
