On the Design:

This elegant antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour exemplifies the artistry and decorative sophistication achieved in the finest examples of early twentieth-century folk textile craftsmanship. The design centers on a graceful floral medallion surrounded by an open field, where blooming roses, lilies, tulips, and scrolling foliage unfold in a harmonious arrangement. Rendered in soft shades of sage green, blush pink, ivory, lavender, and muted coral against a warm neutral ground, the design possesses a refined painterly quality that recalls the floral aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts period.

Equally noteworthy is the dramatic border treatment, where deep charcoal-toned corners frame the design and enhance the delicacy of the botanical motifs. Flowing stems and flowering sprays create a sense of movement throughout the field, while the spacious arrangement lends the rug an airy and balanced presence. Rich in decorative charm and historical character, this rug represents a distinguished example of hooked rug artistry from the interwar period.
