About the Item

Antique English needlepoint gallery size rug, circa 1860, 11'6 x 20'. This is an exceptional Victorian English needlepoint carpet. The damask field patterns of pink palmettes curving leaves and sprays repeat horizontally. The pattern is from Italian Renaissance velvet's and is a most unusual departure from the common English needlepoint patterns. The field colors is also most unusual not the standard black. There are small corner pieces centered on large cabbage roses. The black ground border has just the right amount of corrosion to indicate the age of the piece and features flower sprays and three dimensional shaded acanthus leaves all in a slanted flowering pattern. The borders more clearly carry on the motif. The condition is good and the end tassels are intact a rare occurrence on a piece this age. This is not a rug for everybody. The unusual color scheme requires equally personnel furnishings particularly those with good scale qualities and definitely not brown. The format is perfect for a dining room although the needlepoint medium is more suited for a salon or drawing room with less moving of furniture.
