Vintage Arts & Crafts Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug William Morris BB7744 12'7" × 14'1" $48,000

This vintage European square rug is a hand-knotted wool Arts and Crafts carpet inspired by the William Morris tradition. Its orderly layout and tailored proportion give it the presence of a decorative textile, yet the handmade wool pile keeps the surface warm and approachable.

A golden tan field sets the tone for a repeating botanical design in deep blue-green, olive, burnt orange, and soft pink. Rather than a central medallion, the composition moves in disciplined horizontal bands of stylized blossoms, scrolling leaves, and trellis-like forms, creating a balanced rhythm that feels both formal and organic. The palette lends the rug a gently aged richness without losing clarity.

A narrow floral border frames the field with the same vocabulary, reinforcing the Arts and Crafts structure and giving the design a finished, architectural edge. With its allover repeat and quietly expressive color, this vintage floral rug works especially well in libraries, dining rooms, and traditional-to-transitional interiors where pattern, texture, and restraint need to coexist.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
