Large Size Ivory Antique Floral Flatweave English Fleur De Lis Needlepoint Rug

$26,000.00

This magnificent large-sized antique English needlepoint rug, dating from the nineteenth century, is a superlative example of the "Grand Manor" aesthetic, where the precision of British needlecraft rugs met the heraldic traditions of Continental Europe. Historically, English rugs of this era were a labor of extreme dedication, hand-stitched with fine wool yarns onto a structural mesh canvas to create a "textile mosaic" of unparalleled clarity. This specific specimen is defined by its luminous ivory field and the rhythmic inclusion of the fleur-de-lis—the stylized lily that has served for centuries as a symbol of royalty, purity, and artistic refinement.
