Hook / 12302

This Hook wool rug pairs a dramatic black ground with a centred bouquet rendered in sage, pale lavender and cream. A stepped star border lends a geometric counterpoint to the organic floral motif, the hooked surface retaining a tactile, low-rise texture. The piece carries medium wear and gentle abrash that lends depth to the dark field. Circa 1900 - 1920. This small antique rug reads as an object of domestic craft and quiet refinement, measured precisely at 1' 7" x 2' 10" and showing the soft patina of long use.
