Vintage Arts & Crafts Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Runner BB9240 3'2" × 9'8" $12,000

This antique English Arts and Crafts runner was hand-knotted in wool, reflecting the movement’s emphasis on craftsmanship, structure, and natural ornament. Its wool pile softens the form and lends the piece a quietly tactile finish. Long and narrow in format, it suits corridors, galleries, and other sightlines that benefit from a defined decorative line.

The warm tan field is organized into a repeating rectilinear trellis of taupe floral forms, each compartment offering a softened botanical motif rather than a dense medallion. A clear border-field separation keeps the composition orderly, while the pattern’s rhythm gives the runner a measured, almost architectural presence.

Muted rose, dusty plum, and gentle mauve enrich the palette along the border and within the lattice, adding depth to the earthy ground without disrupting its calm. That balance of warmth and restraint makes the piece especially effective in interiors seeking antique character, visual movement, and a refined Arts and Crafts sensibility.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery’s unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage. Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau remains one of the world’s most trusted sources for exceptional rugs, from rare mid-century finds to contemporary masterworks.
