Antique Axminster Style Rug, Hand Knotted Wool, Beige Floral

About the Item

Originating from Ireland circa 1910-1920, this antique Axminster rug is 12’8 x 13’8 and handmade from hand knotted wool. Beige and orange are the dominant colors, with a notable blue field background complementing tones of red highlighting the curvature of graceful floral patterns in an all-over pattern. The blending of the colors in this piece with the pattern present a uniquely regal, autumnal style, with the atypical use of red, orange, and gold tones used as accents lending to the rarity of the rug in equal parts to its origin. The meticulous and striking floral patterns that make up the majority of the design further boast an alluring sense of movement and grandeur suitable to act as a centerpiece for any large, open area in the house welcoming an area rug. Connoisseurs and designers will note this Irish take on the English Axminster rug style can be seen as a Western version of the neoclassical styles and their grandeur for those seeking a conversational historical context—a collectibility matched only by the dynamic, kingly nature of this antique Axminster rug.
