This Hook is a restrained, tactile study in soft pastels and calm neutrals. Woven in wool, the 8' 5" x 11' 9" piece shows a central oval floral medallion set within a scrolling cartouche and a dense foliate border. Delicate blues and creams sit against a deeper neutral ground, the hooked surface retaining a painterly, hand-worked texture. Wear is gentle and even, lending the antique rug a quiet, lived-in elegance that reads as patinated craft rather than damage. Circa 1900 - 1920 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
