Vintage Irish Arts & Crafts Floral Sage Hand-Knotted Wool Rug By C.F.A. Voysey BB7849 11'0" × 12'8" $65,000

This antique Irish Arts and Crafts rug, designed by C.F.A. Voysey and woven in the Donegal tradition circa the 1920s, is a hand-knotted wool piece with a distinctly tailored presence. Its structured allover layout replaces a central medallion with a disciplined lattice of botanical forms, giving the composition a calm, architectural rhythm.

Across the sage and olive field, stylized pomegranates and tulip-like blossoms repeat in ordered rows, their rust red and brick red petals outlined in warm tan. Curving stems and small geometric connectors keep the pattern animated without losing its sense of restraint, a hallmark of Voysey’s decorative language.

A narrow border of alternating floral spokes and scrolling detail frames the field neatly, while the weathered palette adds softness and depth. Elegant yet grounded, this vintage floral rug suits interiors that favor Arts and Crafts character, natural materials, and pattern with clarity, especially when paired with simple furnishings and clean-lined architecture.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
