Needle Point / 18855

This Needle Point antique rug measures 53 x 53 cm and shows a crisp square format in wool with a refined floral language. An ivory field centres a star-like medallion, surrounded by radiating blossoms, scrolling stems, and a slim border in red, sage green, gold, and muted rose. The design feels orderly yet animated, with low distress and gentle surface softening that add depth without obscuring detail. Circa 1850 - 1865, it reflects the decorative clarity and textile finesse associated with needle point work. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
