Chinese Hook / 11220

A Chinese Hook rug defined by a grid of panelled vignettes, this wool piece uses a restrained cream ground with pale greens, rose and blue to depict birds, flowers and reed beds. The surface shows medium, even wear and a softened pile that emphasises the rug’s pictorial, almost painterly quality. The leafy vine lattice border and subtly faded colours give a sense of age without heavy loss to design. This antique rug reads as quietly historic, with craftsmanship and time in the weave. Circa 1900 - 1920. Exact size 229 x 297 cm.
