About the Item

Antique English Needlepoint Rug Size: 7'0" × 7'0" (213 × 213 cm) This antique English needlepoint rug, dating back to the early 20th century, is a charming example of traditional needlework artistry. Handcrafted in England circa 1900, the square rug presents a delightful patchwork design composed of 25 octagonal compartments arranged in a 5×5 grid, each individually adorned with a unique motif rendered in meticulous petit point. The central panels alternate between lush floral bouquets, botanical wreaths, and figural scenes—including playful pastoral imagery such as a seated woman with a dog, a bird perched on flowering branches, and a tranquil stag beneath a tree. These varied vignettes are executed in soft, muted tones of blush, ivory, rose, sage, blue, and umber on a warm ivory field, while each compartment is framed in a gradient red border that lends structure and harmony to the design. Delicate rosettes accent each intersection, enhancing the rhythm and cohesion of the composition. The level of craftsmanship evident in the even, tight stitches and the balance of color reveals the care and skill of its maker. This needlepoint rug is not only a decorative textile but also a charming visual narrative—a celebration of English countryside life and floral abundance. It would make a captivating focal point in a traditional or eclectic interior, used as a wall hanging, a throw, or a floor covering in a low-traffic area. A remarkable vintage rug, from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, features a timeless elegance. 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.
