Vintage Arts & Crafts Floral Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8978 8'11" × 13'3" $20,000

This vintage European hand-knotted wool rug, rendered in Arts and Crafts and Aubusson traditions, presents a calm teal blue field framed by a disciplined floral composition. Rather than relying on dense ornament, it uses spacing and symmetry to create a look that feels tailored, decorative, and distinctly old-world.

Soft beige outlines a crest-like central medallion, a dotted inner rectangle, and slender foliate stems that extend vertically through the center, while the perimeter is animated by linked oval cartouches filled with scrolling vines, leaves, and small blossoms. The border has the character of an embroidered ribbon, lending the rug a graceful, architectural finish.

The restrained contrast between teal and pale beige makes this vintage floral rug especially versatile for formal living rooms, dining areas, or serene bedrooms. Woven in wool, it offers tactile warmth and a gentle patina, balancing European refinement with the handcrafted clarity prized in Arts and Crafts design.
