Hook / 12280

A Hook piece in wool, this antique rug measures 122 x 56 cm and presents a considered, vertical composition of floral medallions. A muted neutral ground frames cream-ringed roundels and deep red blooms, balanced by green scrolling foliage and small accent tones. The hooked wool surface shows low distress and a soft, tactile hand; the narrow dark border keeps the design composed. Circa 1900 - 1915. Subtle abrash and minimal wear lend the runner a quietly aged sincerity, an object that reads as crafted and carefully preserved. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
