Chinese Hook / 11220

This Chinese Hook rug presents a serene panelled composition rendered in a soft neutral ground and muted pastels. Each square holds a delicate vignette of birds, floral sprays and marsh grasses, the painted-like wool palette of cream, sage and dusty rose retaining an elegant patina. Surface wear is even and tactile; the wool remains soft with a mellow nap that reveals handwork and age. An antique rug with a quiet, refined presence, the piece carries a conservatively dated character. Circa 1920 - 1940. Exact size 7' 6" x 9' 9".
