On the Design:

A deep red field featuring intricate floral detailing creates a balanced symmetrical design characteristic of superior carpet design in this antique German Tetex Hooked rug.

The rich field provides a luxurious backdrop densely populated with small-scale floral motifs—stylized palmettes, rosettes, and vine scrollwork that demonstrate the precision possible through advanced German weaving technology.

Few rugs in its era, and even fewer in this rare provenance, boast this sheer range of hues and the attention to detail in its all over pattern.
