About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool circa 1860-1870, this 14x17 antique Axminster rug from England is a rare piece of pre-Arts & Crafts sensibilities. On the design: Inspired by Sultanabad rugs like other works leading up to the movement, this European rug reflects a rare fusion of styles in its distinct charm. Any admirers of the craft will appreciate its exquisite detail, particularly for its seldom-seen large size and age alike. Underscored by rich red, keen eyes will admire green, gold and blue throughout the floral patterns and borders alike. It’s a kingly design, and a matchless work of art as much as a piece of history. Condition: This antique English Axminster rug is in excellent condition following minor restorations—ready for the floor.

Antique Handmade Hooked Rug in Red with Floral patterns, from Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
This 6x10 antique hooked rug is believed to be a rare Tetex rug—a curation from the Rug & Kilim Collection. Handmade with wool and originating from Germany circa 1920-1930, its design enjoys beige-brown and navy blue floral patterns on a red field. On the Design: Connoisseurs may admire this piece as a European take on Oriental rug designs—a rich piece of artistry and history. The distinctive hooked technique lends a unique texture to the rug, adding a more impressionistic, playful feel to its traditional sensibility. The rich red field, with subtle rust accents, creates a natural background for the impressive range of vibrant colors. Few rugs in its era, and even fewer in this rare provenance, boast this sheer range of hues and the attention to detail in its all over pattern. It’s a regal piece, yet full of whimsy and personal touches that distinguish it among similar curations today. Condition: This antique German hooked rug...
