Vintage Irish Arts & Crafts Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Attributed To Voysey BB8407 10'8" × 16'6" $75,000

Antique Irish Arts and Crafts hand-knotted wool rug attributed to Voysey, this European carpet reflects the movement’s devotion to craftsmanship, restraint, and nature-inspired form.

A warm taupe frame encloses a blush-pink field organized by a calm botanical trellis. Stylized tulip and lily heads rise on slender sage-green stems, while heart-shaped leaves and small floral accents soften the geometry. Along the border, larger foliage and blossoms create a strong framed composition, giving the rug the balanced, architectural look so closely associated with Voysey’s decorative vocabulary. The repeat is orderly but never rigid, so the surface feels disciplined and alive at once.

Muted mauve, dusty pink, sage, and pale yellow tones lend the antique rug a gentle, layered palette that flatters both traditional and transitional interiors. Hand-knotted in wool, it offers the tactile richness and enduring presence collectors value in an Arts and Crafts floral vintage rug, while remaining versatile enough to anchor a library, dining room, or refined living space.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965. Doris Leslie Blau is celebrated worldwide for sourcing extraordinary rugs ranging from accessible vintage finds to rare collector-quality masterpieces.
