About the Item

Arts & Crafts Rug by Gavin Morton Size: 15'1" × 20'10" (459 × 635 cm) This elegant European rug, designed by renowned British textile artist Gavin Morton during the height of the Arts & Crafts movement, beautifully embodies the principles of the era: simplicity, craftsmanship, and the subtle beauty of nature. Woven in the 1920s, the rug’s refined composition showcases a delicate interplay of form and color. A soothing palette of soft rose-pink forms the ground for an understated allover trellis pattern, accented with light yellow-gold motifs that suggest stylized floral blossoms. These motifs are arranged in an organic, rhythmic layout that offers both balance and spaciousness. The border design is particularly characteristic of Morton’s restrained approach to ornamentation. A flowing vine motif in light ochre meanders along the frame, anchored by clusters of stylized floral forms in muted green, ivory, and coral tones. These flourishes lend structure without overwhelming the composition, letting the interior field breathe. Executed in fine wool with a supple weave, the rug maintains a sense of quiet sophistication. Though large in scale, it carries an ethereal lightness, making it ideal for interiors that favor a touch of poetic serenity over decorative opulence. A fine example of the British Arts & Crafts ethos translated into textile form, this rug is not only a decorative floor covering but also a historical artifact—a rare and beautiful echo of early 20th-century design. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
