Antique Floral Allover Ivory Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1750 18Th Century Flemish Tapestry With Floral Urns And Verdant Ornamentation BB8418 13'6" × 18'6" $200,000

This antique Flemish tapestry rug, woven in Flanders circa 1750, translates 18th-century textile artistry into a richly decorative floor covering. In wool, it has the presence of a historic wall hanging, yet it reads easily as a collectible antique rug for interiors that favor depth and character.

The ivory-beige field is organized around a repeated array of urn and bouquet motifs, each filled with trailing stems, feathery leaves, and compact blossoms. Teal, blue, dusty rose, soft gold, and brown soften into a mellow, timeworn palette, while the symmetrical structure keeps the composition balanced and formal.

A brown outer border packed with floral garlands, scrolling foliage, and small ornamental details frames the interior like a tapestry cartouche. The result is a piece that lends traditional rooms a curated finish and also brings warmth and visual order to dining rooms, libraries, or layered contemporary spaces. Its formal structure and antique patina make it especially suited to sophisticated interiors where pattern can carry the scheme without overwhelming the room.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
