This 3x3 antique circular hooked rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s Antique collection—a romantic folk-art masterpiece, handmade in wool and believed to originate circa 1920-1929.
On the Design:
An intricate and captivating design plan, this circular antique hooked rug is a brilliant celebration of early 20th-century botanical romance. Sourced from the celebrated collections of Y & B Bolour, the framework centers on a breathtaking, exuberantly detailed floral bouquet bursting with lilies, morning glories, and lush roses. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the painterly realism achieved through the meticulous hooking technique, transforming simple wool strands into a vibrant, textural garden that feels both elegant and warmly nostalgic.
The chromatic palette is a masterclass in soft, pastoral beauty. Grounded by a warm, inviting beige field, the central blossoms are rendered in exquisite shades of sky blue, deep crimson, and golden yellow, all beautifully framed by an undulating scrolled border in delicate pinks. This distinctive circular format and exceptional botanical detailing represent an important chapter in textile history, where folk artisans translated the elegance of formal gardens into inviting, tactile art. An undeniably charming and highly collectible piece, this mat offers a graceful, historic touch to any space.

This antique hooked rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
