This extremely elegant antique Ukrainian needlepoint carpet is the eastern European counterpart of French and English needle-points. Like them it derives from the Rococo needlepoint and Aubusson tapestry designs, especially in the border. But alongside this heritage, there is a distinctly Russian or Ukrainian folk art sensibility that informs the overall palette of magenta, golds, and browns as well as the fine floral design of the field. A masterful expression of decorative finesse and cultural authenticity. Beautifully composed and unique, this antique needlepoint from the Ukraine is also a charming and compelling example. Resplendent with the ornamentation and pallet that are considered to be most desirable in these weaving, this antique Ukrainian needlepoint is a rare treasure.
