American Hook / 12366

An American Hook in wool, the hooked field moves like tide-lines in layered greens and neutral creams. Painterly loops form concentric striations around a central cluster of abstract shell and starfish motifs in cream and soft accents. A scalloped cream inner border with a deeper outer band frames the composition. Surface abrash, medium wear and softened pile lend a gentle patina to the work; it reads as an heirloom textile with quiet craft presence. This antique rug carries tactile, heritage-aware character. Circa 1895 - 1910. Size: 132 x 178 cm.
