About the Item

Originating from the refined traditions of late 19th-century England, this 8x10 antique needlepoint rug is a masterpiece of precision and grace. Newly curated for our collection, it represents a storied lineage of European craftsmanship, hand-stitched with a meticulous eye for symmetry and a lush, sophisticated palette of ruby red, sage green, and midnight blue. On the Design: This antique needlepoint rug is a poetic study in structured elegance, featuring a rhythmic, repeating trellis of geometric medallions that unfolds across the field like a Victorian garden gate. Each individual cross-motif is a miniature work of art, teeming with intricate floral-geometric details that capture the blooming spirit of an English countryside. The play of light and shadow within these medallions creates a profound sense of depth, where the warm terracottas and soft ivories seem to glow against the darker, grounded tones of the framework. Connoisseurs will particularly admire the monumental border, a bold departure from the delicate interior that features a striking "barber pole" or diagonal candy-stripe pattern in deep blue and vibrant red. This architectural frame acts as a dramatic counterpoint to the blooming geometry of the field, lending the piece a sophisticated, stately presence. It is a smart, cultured work of textile art—a labor of love that translates the grand language of European needlework into a timeless piece of floor art, offering an air of historic luxury and contemporary comfort alike. Condition: This antique needlepoint rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage.
