Hook / 12597

This Hook antique rug measures 269 x 366 cm and presents a calm, ordered field of cream roundels set against a deep neutral ground. Each medallion holds a modest floral centre, the grid linked by star-shaped joins to form a steady, architectural repeat. Wool construction shows gentle abrash and surface wear, with discrete abrasions and a small edge repair that contribute to its lived, tactile character. The restrained colour range and softened details convey an archival sensibility. Circa 1850 - 1865. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
