About the Item
1880s Antique French Botanic Needlepoint Rug
Size: 7'2" × 7'5" (218 × 226 cm)
A masterful example of late 19th-century French textile artistry, this antique needlepoint rug from the 1880s is a vibrant celebration of botanical motifs and classical symmetry. Handcrafted with exceptional detail, the piece features a repeating medallion pattern across the central field, composed of ornate geometric blossoms in shades of crimson, gold, verdant green, lavender, and ivory. The medallions are framed in warm red quatrefoils, offset by a soft cream ground that allows the vivid colors to radiate.
The surrounding border is equally decorative, with scrolling vines, floral bouquets, and stylized urns woven in muted pastels and rich reds. Delicate acanthus leaves and classical garlands lend this piece a regal French aesthetic.
Executed in fine petit point, the intricate stitching reflects the quality and patience of skilled artisans. While some signs of age and use—such as minor creasing, faint discoloration on the lining, and mild wear—are present, the rug remains structurally sound and retains strong visual impact. It would be rated in good condition for its era and craftsmanship.
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.
