Vintage Needlepoint Round Tapestry Rug – Chestnut Leaf & Blossom Motif

Design & Motif:
• The rug features a dense, all-over pattern of chestnut leaves and blossoms, intricately rendered in needlepoint.
• The leaves are rendered in layered shades of green, moss, olive, and chartreuse, with detailed veining and depth.
• Clusters of soft pink blossoms punctuate the foliage with a subtle romantic flair.
• Hidden among the foliage are developing chestnut seed pods, adding a touch of natural realism.

Shape & Finish:
• Round format, which makes it ideal for centering under a small table, in a seating area, or as an accent in an entryway.
• Trimmed with multicolor tassel fringe in green, terracotta, and taupe for a finished, traditional look.
• The backing is lined in a gold satin fabric, suggesting this may have been a decorative table rug or wall tapestry as well.

Style:
• Reminiscent of Aubusson or William Morris–inspired textiles, with an emphasis on organic repeat and timeless color palettes.
• Ideal for interiors with English cottage, French country, or eclectic vintage styling.

Condition Notes:
• There is a visible water stain or mark on the back lining, but the front tapestry appears to be in good shape.
• Minor signs of age-appropriate wear add to its authenticity and antique character.

This piece would pair beautifully with warm wood tones, botanical art, or coastal pieces if you’re going for a layered, curated interior. See less
