The design features repeating floral panels with bouquets of blossoms in soft rose, ivory, blue, sage, and coral tones against a muted natural ground.

On the Design:

This charming antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, exemplifies the folk-art traditions that flourished in the United States during the early twentieth century. The field is organized into a series of repeating rectangular compartments, each containing a delicately arranged floral bouquet rendered in soft shades of rose, coral, ivory, pale blue, sage green, and buttercream. Set against a warm neutral ground, the design conveys a sense of lightness and refinement while retaining the Handmade character that makes hooked rugs so enduringly appealing.

Particularly notable is the rhythmic repetition of the floral panels, creating a balanced architectural structure that complements the free-flowing botanical motifs within each compartment. Tulips, blossoms, leafy sprays, and garden-inspired ornament are drawn with a painterly sensibility, while the softened palette lends the piece an elegant, timeworn beauty. Rich in decorative charm, this rug represents a fine example of antique hooked textile craftsmanship from the interwar period.
