About the Item
Antique English Needlework Rug
Size: 13'8" × 21'10" (416 × 665 cm)
Exuding elegance and timeless artistry, this exquisite 19th-century English needlework rug is a testament to the refinement of Victorian-era decorative arts. Handwoven circa 1880, it boasts a magnificent interplay of form and color, revealing the extraordinary craftsmanship of British textile artisans.
The rug’s design is anchored in a symmetrical allover botanical motif, rendered in an airy, luminous palette of pale aquamarine, soft peach, cream, celadon, and subtle hints of coral and lavender. Majestic acanthus leaves, stylized blossoms, and scrolling foliage unfold across the field in a rhythmic composition that evokes the grace and formality of neoclassical interior aesthetics.
Set against a cool robin’s egg blue ground, the sinuous floral forms are highlighted with skillful shading, lending the design depth and movement. A delicate striped border in coordinating hues subtly frames the composition, offering balance without distraction.
Meticulously executed in wool, this antique needlepoint rug reflects not only remarkable artistry but also the romantic ideals of Victorian décor—elegant, harmonious, and intricately detailed. Its scale and delicacy make it especially suited for grand interiors where understated luxury is desired.
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.
