About the Item

Antique Arts and Crafts Rug, Attributed to Voysey Size: 10'8" × 16'6" (325 × 502 cm) Color: Green, Pink, Yellow This exceptional antique Arts and Crafts rug, woven circa 1900, is a stunning embodiment of the design ethos championed by C.F.A. Voysey, one of the foremost figures of the British Arts and Crafts movement. With its elegant, nature-inspired motifs and harmonious palette, the piece is a remarkable representation of handwoven textile art from the turn of the 20th century. The rug features a rhythmically repeating pattern of stylized lilies and tulip-like blooms gracefully connected by arching green stems and framed by heart-shaped leaves. These organic forms are arranged with symmetry and clarity, reflecting Voysey's philosophy of integrating beauty with functionality and simplicity. The composition is framed by a wide, decorative border of larger-scale acanthus leaves and flower heads, adding grandeur without sacrificing cohesion. The color palette is soft and refined: blush rose fields serve as a warm backdrop to the deeper plum, soft lilac, moss green, pale sage, and ivory details. These tones lend the piece a tranquil and romantic feel, while also enhancing its decorative versatility in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Crafted with a thick, supple pile and excellent wool quality, this handwoven rug has aged gracefully, retaining its gentle charm and subtle elegance. Its balanced design, refined colors, and superb craftsmanship make it not only a functional floor covering but a genuine work of decorative art. This piece is a rare find for collectors and admirers of Arts and Crafts textiles, offering a glimpse into the artistic ideals of a movement that sought to elevate everyday objects through fine craftsmanship and natural beauty. 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.
