Hook / 12309

A Hook runner in wool, the design arranged as a cream oval cartouche containing a vertical garland of flowers, set against a deep green ground. Leafy scrolls and rose sprays form the border, the hooked surface retaining a soft tactile nap and even wear. The composition reads as refined and time-softened, with delicate abrash in the green ground and clear, neutral tones throughout. This antique rug combines florals and foliate ornament with the quiet presence of hand-made surface texture. Circa 1885 - 1900. Exact size: 91 x 310 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
