About the Item
Antique English Axminster Rug
Size: 10'2" × 14'0" (309 × 426 cm)
This exquisite Antique Axminster rug, woven in England around 1910, showcases the timeless elegance and craftsmanship associated with the finest English carpet weaving traditions. The rug presents a stately and symmetrical design anchored by a vibrant crimson field, adorned with a mesmerizing array of scattered floral motifs and stylized botanical elements.
The field design balances visual richness with openness, allowing the detailed ornamentation—featuring tiny rosettes, floral sprays, and abstract emblems—to shine without overwhelming the space. The center is intentionally unbordered by a medallion, enhancing its sense of breadth and drawing attention to the surrounding, more elaborate structure.
What distinguishes this piece is the regal gold and ochre corner spandrels and matching wide border, each beautifully decorated with classical scrolls, palmettes, and architectural fan-like medallions. The color palette—rich in russet, gold, black, cream, and sage—evokes warmth and grandeur, reminiscent of traditional English manor interiors.
Expertly hand-knotted in pure wool, the rug boasts dense pile and tight knotting, delivering both durability and softness. Despite its generous size, the composition remains harmonious and well-balanced, making it a spectacular foundation piece for large formal rooms, ballrooms, or gallery spaces.
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.
