Hook / 15002

This Hook antique rug in wool measures 320 x 450 cm and carries a softly aged palette of cream, ivory, soft grey, muted sage, dusty rose, and plum. The composition centres on an oval medallion, then expands through floral garlands, scrolling vine work, and a fine border that gives the design structure without heaviness. Medium distress has mellowed the surface, bringing a gentle blur to the pattern and a tactile, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it feels composed and decorative, with a quiet balance between detail, colour, and wear.
