About the Item
Doris Leslie Blau Exquisite 19th-Century European Silk Table Carpet
Size: 7'3" x 8'9" (220 x 266 cm)
This magnificent silk table carpet, dating to the 1800s, is a rare example of European textile artistry designed not for the floor, but as a luxurious adornment for tables in aristocratic or ecclesiastical settings. Woven entirely from lustrous silk, the piece radiates elegance and delicacy, reflecting the refined tastes of 19th-century European high society.
The central medallion bursts with petal-like floral motifs in soft blue, ivory, and coral, surrounded by scrolling acanthus leaves rendered in vibrant crimson, sapphire, and gold. From this core, the design unfolds into a sumptuous arrangement of fruit clusters, blooming florals, fluttering birds, and stylized cornucopias—all executed with painterly finesse and exceptional symmetry.
A wide border anchored in a classical Rococo palette—soft creams, blush, verdant green, and rust—encases the composition, accentuated by a crimson frame that draws the eye inward and adds vibrancy. The artistic quality of this piece rivals fine tapestries, and its silk construction lends it an ethereal sheen that changes with the light.
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.
