About the Item
1880s Antique English Needlepoint Runner with Stylized Foliage and Floral Motif
Size: 2'5" × 14'10" (73 × 452 cm)
This exquisite antique English needlepoint runner from the 1880s is a testament to the refined decorative arts of the Victorian period. Handwoven with remarkable precision, the piece reflects the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of 19th-century England, where such textiles were often used to enhance the warmth and elegance of hallways, staircases, or grand dining room settings.
The runner features a repeating pattern of bold stylized acanthus leaves in muted gold and olive tones set against a warm rust background. Each botanical motif is enclosed within a soft frame, creating a rhythm that is both orderly and organic. The visual cadence of the foliage is punctuated at each end by a larger central medallion composed of scrolling fronds, balanced symmetrically for classical appeal.
Surrounding the main field is a narrow yet lively border rendered in deep red and black, adorned with diamond patterns and petite rosettes, adding a contrasting geometric structure to the otherwise flowing natural forms. At each corner, cross-like floral embellishments provide a final decorative flourish, enhancing the visual balance of the composition.
Crafted using the traditional needlepoint technique—where wool is stitched onto a canvas foundation—this runner carries a low, tapestry-like pile and a rich texture. Its condition and patina speak to its age, offering authentic character and timeless charm.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
