This 3x5 antique oval hooked rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s Antique collection—a rustic folk-art masterpiece from the collections of Y & B Bolour. It features a soft leaf frame, is handmade in wool, and is believed to originate circa 1920-1929.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs will immediately admire the quiet, organic poetry of this antique oval hooked rug. Handmade during the 1920s, the piece beautifully breaks away from rigid geometric configurations to showcase a fluid, layered concentric formatting that echoes the natural bands of agate or time-softened landscapes. A continuous frame of stylized sage green leaves effortlessly follows the rug’s contour, gently punctuated by subtle autumnal accents of burgundy and gold berries against a warm, stone-gray backdrop.
The chromatic scheme is an exercise in sophisticated understatement, shifting through an inviting progression of soft grays, muted taupes, and earthy greens. The inherent beauty of the hand-hooking process yields a dense, undulating textural topography that catches the light with magnificent dimensionality. Serving as an exceptional testament to early 20th-century vernacular textile craft, this complete masterpiece provides a uniquely soothing, soulful presence that effortlessly pairs with historic, rustic, or eclectic modern interiors.
Condition:
This antique hooked rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
