Antique Wilton English Rug # 2657

Antique Wilton English Rug, early twentieth centuryThis lovely antique Wilton carpet is the epitome of taste and elegance. Coming out of the British Arts and Crafts movement, it evokes the graceful floral designs of William Morris wallpapers and textiles from the later nineteenth century, although in a softer palette more appropriate to modern decor. The effect of the design is heightened by the luminous quality of the yellows and the lustrous sheen of the wool.
