About the Item
Extra Large Antique Portuguese Needlework Botanic at Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 18'5" × 41'7" (561 × 1267 cm)
This exquisite extra-large antique Portuguese needlepoint rug, dating to the 1940s, is a remarkable testament to the artistry and precision of Iberian textile craftsmanship. Spanning an impressive 42' x 19', this monumental piece is a masterclass in symmetry, subtlety, and botanical elegance.
Rendered entirely in wool using traditional needlepoint techniques, the rug features a meticulously executed repeating floral medallion pattern across its field, laid over a warm terracotta ground. Stylized blossoms and leafy arabesques unfurl within interlocking medallions, each framed by curvilinear vines and classical scroll motifs. The palette, consisting of muted sage greens, rose pinks, beige, and soft ochre, lends the rug an understated sophistication ideal for grand interiors seeking a sense of harmony and organic rhythm.
The central field is enclosed by a wide decorative border composed of stylized acanthus leaves and rope-twist bands, reinforcing the neoclassical influence often found in mid-century Portuguese textiles. Handcrafted with fine attention to color gradation and spatial composition, this piece retains both aesthetic refinement and historical value.
Despite its size, the rug remains delicately balanced and serene. Subtle birds and floral flourishes add nuance upon closer inspection, rewarding the viewer with layers of decorative interest.
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.
