Hook / 12302

This Hook wool rug presents a deep black ground set against a floral centre in sage, pale lavender and cream, framed by a stepped star border. The hooked surface remains tactile despite medium wear and subtle abrash that softens the dark ground. Circa 1880 - 1900. As an antique rug the scale is intimate and crafted; the 48 x 86 cm dimensions and the muted colourway convey a restrained, heritage-aware sensibility with evidence of gentle edge fraying and a small repaired corner. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
