19th Century English Needlework Ochre, Gold Fuchsia Ivory and Light Brown Carpet BB6486 10'9" × 14'9" $40,000

Sublimity, durability and unique appeal of Arts and Crafts – this magnificent antique European carpets has it all. Meticulously hand-crafted in the elaborate needlepoint technique by a skilled artisan, this historic creation has survived over 200 years and still is as beautiful rugs and up-to-date as in the day of its making. The fact that the piece remains in perfect condition after such a long time in usage is the best proof of its quality – if properly maintained, it will surely serve its owners for generations without any signs of blemish, with a chance to become a family heirloom. Its main field is covered in a curvilinear trellis pattern with botanical and floral references, enclosed within an equally graceful, matching series of borders.

Stylized foliage and florals, undulations, corner spandrels and the muted autumnal color palette incorporating shades of ochre, gold fuchsia, ivory and light brown together result in a warm and enchanting composition with whimsical undertones. This venerable work of art will have a chance to embellish a wide gamut of contemporary interior décors and infuse them with an air of English elegance along with an invaluable touch of history.
