About the Item
Antique English Needlepoint Rug
Size: 6'1" × 8'9" (185 × 266 cm)
Color: beige, blue, green, purple, red, yellow.
This exquisite antique English needlepoint rug from the 1890s is a quintessential example of Victorian craftsmanship and artistic sensibility. Carefully handwoven, the rug showcases a striking array of intricate floral medallions meticulously arranged in a symmetrical grid, each framed in rich crimson and aubergine floral wreaths. These repeated panels are set against a warm, honey-gold field, giving the piece a harmonious rhythm and luminous warmth.
The design features a captivating interplay of stylized blossoms, curling foliage, and paisley-like flourishes, all radiating from finely embroidered eight-pointed stars at the center of each medallion. The borders complement the field with sinuous scrollwork and rosettes, incorporating soft celadon, mint, and ivory hues against a subtle forest-green edge. Delicate shades of cerulean, rose, ochre, and wine add dimension and texture to the composition, showcasing the finesse of the needlepoint technique.
True to its English heritage, this rug exudes refined elegance and romantic charm, echoing elements of Baroque and Rococo influence with a distinctly British flair. Though over a century old, the color saturation and craftsmanship remain remarkably vivid, offering both decorative allure and historical significance.
Whether displayed in a traditional setting or as a striking contrast in a modern interior, this antique English needlepoint rug is a testament to timeless design and artisanal excellence.
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.
