About the Item

19th Century Antique French Floral Needlework Rug Size: 9'4" × 13'8" (284 × 416 cm) This exquisite 19th-century antique French needlework rug, dating back to circa 1890, is a masterclass in craftsmanship and decorative sophistication. Woven in the celebrated tradition of French Aubusson and Savonnerie styles, the piece features an allover floral pattern composed of lush roses, peonies, and delicate leaf motifs in full bloom. Set against a warm olive green ground, the intricate florals are rendered in soft shades of dusty rose, ivory, ochre, crimson, and muted gold. The composition is symmetrically arranged and richly detailed, evoking a tapestry-like quality that testifies to its fine needlepoint construction. Handwoven in wool, the rug showcases a remarkably flat weave with a supple texture, indicative of meticulous needlework. Subtle age-related wear and minor irregularities contribute to its authenticity and historical charm without distracting from the design's visual impact. The reverse reveals evidence of hand-stitching and period repairs, characteristic of its over-a-century-long journey. 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.
