About the Item
1920s English Needlepoint Rug with Verdure-Inspired Botanical Motif
Size: 4'1" × 6'0" (124 × 182 cm)
This charming antique English needlepoint rug, dating back to the 1920s, captures the whimsical vitality of nature in a decorative format that reflects the period's appreciation for romanticism and garden-inspired design. Handwoven in wool using the traditional needlepoint technique, the piece reveals an abundant allover pattern of scrolling acanthus leaves, flowering vines, and stylized tulips and carnations — each element rendered in a painterly palette of golden ochres, rose pinks, leafy greens, sky blues, and soft ivory tones.
The rug's dynamic botanical composition flows freely across the surface, giving it a lush, tapestry-like appearance reminiscent of 17th- and 18th-century verdure textiles, while maintaining a distinctly 20th-century English sensibility. A deep brown outer border subtly frames the composition, grounding the vibrant central motif and enhancing its visual impact without rigid symmetry.
This needlepoint exemplifies the meticulous artistry of early 20th-century English decorative textiles — a period when craftsmanship and natural themes were harmonized for elegant interiors. With its warm color story and flowing vegetal forms, the piece would serve beautifully as a focal point in traditional or eclectic spaces, whether as a floor covering, wall hanging, or a layered decorative accent.
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.
