Its elegant lattice design and soft palette embody the decorative charm of early hooked rugs.

On the Design:

This antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, enjoys a particularly graceful visual juxtaposition, wherein a delicate trellis lattice expands across the field to form an elongated diamond medallion. Soft ivory tones contrast beautifully against the charcoal ground, while pale green foliage and blush-pink blossoms soften the geometry with an unmistakable sense of movement and refinement. The small central flower further anchors the visual juxtaposition, lending the field both balance and intimacy.

Particularly noteworthy is the interplay between floral ornament and geometric structure. The lattice introduces remarkable visual order, while the surrounding garlands and corner blossoms impart a gentler, garden-like character. Such harmony between decorative restraint and folk-art expression exemplifies the enduring appeal of early twentieth-century hooked rugs and allows this piece to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. 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.
