Hook / 12305

A compact Hook rug in wool, 2' 7" x 4' 0", that reads as a studied, tactile object. The cream field hosts a vertical bouquet rendered in muted purple, soft yellow and rose tones, worked with a raised hooked texture. A scalloped cartouche frames the flowers, set against a deep maroon border punctuated by a bright blue scroll. The surface shows light wear and mellowing of the ground colour that gives the piece its quiet poise. An antique rug with a handmade presence and painterly palette, Circa 1925 - 1955, this Hook offers an intimate study of colour and craft.
