Chinese Hook / 10907

This Chinese Hook is woven in wool to a soft, muted register; a field of linked cartouches holds delicate polychrome floral sprays set against a cream-ground lattice. The neutral palette and gentle abrash read as a quiet, tactile surface, the woolpile mellowed by time. Visible wear is moderate, lending a lived-in patina while florals retain their painted quality. An antique rug with restrained decorative vocabulary, it balances gesture and calm across 8' 4" x 11' 8". Circa 1910 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
