Needle Point / 18858

This Needle Point antique rug measures 53 x 53 cm and is composed with a compact floral arrangement on an ivory ground. A central medallion sits within a scalloped star form, surrounded by scrolling vines, blossoms, and a finely drawn border in coral red, olive green, soft gold, and rose pink. The palette feels airy yet warm, with the motif held in crisp balance across the square field. Circa 1850 - 1865, the wool surface retains low distress and a gently softened handle that speaks to age without losing clarity.
