Needle Point / 10166

A Needle Point field of repeated rose sprays rendered in soft, restrained tones on an ivory ground. This wool Needle Point shows fine pictorial detail, layered petals, sage leaves and ochre accents, set within a scrolling floral border. The surface retains a low, even pile with minimal wear that lets the painted quality of the stitches read like an antique rug textile. The palette is quietly neutral with warm rose notes and weathered burgundy. Circa 1880 - 1895 Measurements: 8' 2" x 11' 7". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
