A modern second quarter 20th-century French country rug, the camel field with minor circles and triangles in bands framing the tiles containing brown and beige flowerheads within a thin outer stripe. Rug production was introduced to Europe by the Moors of Spain between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. While Oriental rugs initially had a significant influence on European rugs designs, various regions came to develop their own unique styles and techniques over time. In France, starting in the seventeenth century, factories in Savonnerie and Aubusson rugs for sale began producing some of the most exceptional rugs of the last few centuries. From 1660 until 1743 Savonnerie was a manufacture royal, carrying out commissions for pile antique rugs and carpets specifically designed for the Royal Palaces. In England, high-quality rug production in the town of Axminster in the late 18th century gradually paved the way for the Arts and Crafts rugs in the late nineteenth century when William Morris designed a pattern for an Axminster rug.

This early 20th-century needlework rug represents classic English needlepoint craft. It was made by hand, using a sewing needle and wool yarn to create stitches on an open grid cotton fabric known as the “canvas.” This technique results in millions of individual stitches that provide an interesting visual and textural effect – needlepoint rugs are pile-less and have that slightly rustic character. This 2'10" x 5'9" English needlework rug carries a central medallion of floral motifs, embraced by a floral cartouche, and a series of simple borders. The design is rendered in a rich yet muted color palette consisting of brown, pink, red, green, blue, and gold against the beige background. The gentle color palette emphasizes the idyllic character of the antique needlepoint rug. In terms of workmanship, this antique English rug is second to none. It survived until this day in excellent condition and will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear if maintained properly.
