CU-1605 - Antique Axminster Rug
15ft X 16ft
Hand Knotted Wool Cotton
A magnificent and rare large-scale Antique Axminster rug, measuring an impressive 15 feet by 16 feet. Woven in England, Axminster rugs are celebrated for their refined craftsmanship and rich, elegant designs. This particular piece showcases a beautifully orchestrated floral medallion pattern framed by intricate borders, all rendered in a stately palette of deep reds, warm golds, and soft blues.
The carpet’s generous size makes it ideal for a grand drawing room, formal dining area, or gallery setting—spaces where traditional English elegance and timeless design are most at home. The luxurious wool pile remains in excellent antique condition, with an age-earned patina that adds warmth and character.
A classic choice for collectors or interior designers seeking a statement piece steeped in British heritage.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
