Vintage Irish Arts & Crafts Floral Olive Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet By C.F.A. Voysey BB7807 12'2" × 15'7" $140,000

This antique Arts and Crafts wool carpet, attributed to C.F.A. Voysey, was hand-knotted in England and reflects the designer’s refined take on the British decorative tradition. More carpet than pictorial field, it balances structure and softness with a composed, quietly lyrical presence.

An olive ground creates the backdrop for a framed open-field arrangement, where sparse botanical sprigs and slender trellis lines organize the surface with measured rhythm. Around the perimeter, a scrolling border in cream, mauve, and soft pink is punctuated by stylized floral cartouches, while dusty rose, sage, plum, and taupe accents add depth without disturbing the calm palette.

Woven in wool, the carpet has the tactile warmth and subtle patina collectors value in an antique hand-knotted piece. Its disciplined geometry and floral ornament make it especially effective in interiors that call for historic character, a grounded color story, and an Arts and Crafts rug with elegant architectural framing.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
