The Antique Needlepoint English Knotted Rug is an exceptional example of Victorian textile artistry from the 1860s. Crafted in the United Kingdom, this wool rug combines the fine detail of needlepoint with the durability of a knotted pile. The design features a dramatic, high-contrast palette with deep brown fields and an allover floral pattern. Intricately framed cartouches with gold scrollwork enclose bouquets of naturalistic flowers in muted red, olive green, and blue against ivory tones. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this rectangular rug offers superior texture and longevity compared to traditional flat-woven pieces. Its formal grandeur makes it a magnificent foundation for grand interiors, drawing-rooms, or salons.
