About the Item
Oversized 1920s English Axminster Carpet with Herati-Inspired Floral Motifs in Rust and Sage
Size: 20'3" × 22'7" (617 × 688 cm)
This exquisite 1920s English Axminster rug showcases the rich craftsmanship and decorative opulence that defined the British rug-making tradition during the early 20th century. Woven from high-quality wool, the rug boasts a lush, dense pile with a soft hand, underscoring its luxurious character and enduring durability.
At the heart of the design is a grand all-over Herati-inspired pattern rendered in earthy brick reds, faded rusts, and soft taupes, complemented by olive greens and neutral beiges. These tones create a harmonious palette that is both sophisticated and warm, ideal for grounding traditional and eclectic interiors alike.
The meticulously woven floral medallions and stylized arabesques are framed by a wide border decorated with blooming rosettes and geometric flourishes. The border’s creamy beige field subtly contrasts the central pattern, offering balance and structure to the composition.
Typical of Axminster rugs, the piece reflects the influence of Persian designs while staying true to the English aesthetic, with a slightly restrained palette and controlled symmetry. The crisp outlines and varied motifs suggest a precise mechanical weaving process—an Axminster hallmark—while still capturing the charm of hand-crafted artistry.
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.
