Large Contemporary Needlepoint Carpet of 18th Century Design
English needlepoint carpets have been produced since the 16th Century, but experienced a real renaissance during the 18th and 19th Centuries, incorporating a vast array of new colours and styles – this handwoven contemporary example represents a high-grade reproduction of the needlepoint carpets of the Georgian era, drawing from the iconic works of famed Neoclassical architect and designer, Robert Adam.
The design employs an all-over composition, with a soft ivory ground providing a complimentary backdrop to the delicate floral motifs stamped across the field, in tones of sage green, hazelnut and red, framed by a wide, muted border - an understated, well balanced colour palette.
A sophisticated piece, in a rare large format, so suit a wide variety of interiors.
