Soft blue, green, and red tones lend the piece a decorative character rooted in early twentieth-century hooked rug design.

On the Design:

This antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, enjoys a particularly distinctive visual juxtaposition, centering a stylized blossom rendered in soft blue, sage green, cream, and red tones. The floral motif unfolds gracefully across a striated ground whose horizontal movement lends remarkable depth and texture, creating an effect reminiscent of hand-painted textiles. The subdued palette further emphasizes the harmony between decorative ornament and graphic clarity.

Framing the visual juxtaposition is a scrolling vine border punctuated by delicate floral accents, introducing a gentle rhythm that balances the liveliness of the central field. The interplay of linear movement, floral abstraction, and muted coloration reflects the creative spirit of early twentieth-century hooked rugs, resulting in a piece that carries both folk-art character and refined decorative appeal. The accompanying book, Henri Samuel Master of the French Interior by Emily Evans Eerdsman, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B233) can be acquired independently through our bookstore.
