Antique English Wilton Wool Rug (Machine Made) BB8890 13'6" × 16'10" $25,000

This stunning antique English Wilton rug from the early 1900s showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and refined aesthetics that defined the Wilton weaving tradition at the height of its prominence. Machine-made with precision in England using fine wool, the rug radiates warmth and elegance through its harmonious color palette and detailed patterning.

The central field is richly adorned with large-scale palmettes, serrated leaves, and rosette motifs arranged in a symmetrical all-over design. A soft powder blue background is enlivened by bold accents of rust red, ochre gold, charcoal, and ivory, which together create a striking visual contrast. The intricate vinescrolls and florals lend a classic, oriental-inspired elegance to the rug, while the unusually wide main border—featuring a crimson backdrop with ornate botanical motifs and medallions—adds regal definition to the composition.

Wilton rugs are known for their durability and high-quality finish, and this piece is no exception. Its thick wool pile offers both tactile luxury and lasting resilience, making it suitable not only as a decorative statement but also as a practical floor covering.

Whether placed in a formal living room, grand dining hall, or a curated historical interior, this English Wilton rug brings timeless sophistication, rich history, and unmatched craftsmanship to any setting.
