Dating to circa the 1920s, it combines a buttery cream ground with brown, dusty rose and burgundy blossoms. Olive-green leaves bring softer colour between the warmer floral tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe repeating checkerboard gives the long composition a balanced, quilt-like appearance. A narrow brown surround frames the pattern without adding a separate decorative band. Its restrained outline allows the contrasting square designs to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlowers on a Buttercream Ground\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndividual brown blossoms occupy the central floral squares. Layers of dusty rose and cream define their petals around small pale centres. Olive leaves extend from each flower, giving the compact motifs a gently rounded outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the sides, paired burgundy and rust-red flowers introduce deeper colour. Small buds and leaves extend around these clusters. Their irregular outlines soften the straight divisions of the surrounding grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pale background remains visible around every flower. This space keeps the repeated motifs clearly separated and prevents the design from becoming crowded. It also gives the burgundy pairs a stronger visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConcentric Geometric Squares\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween the floral panels, narrow bands step inward towards small central squares. Brown, taupe, cream and muted olive lines create an impression of depth. Their angled corners contrast with the curved petals beside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bands vary slightly in width and tone across the handmade surface. These small differences add texture to the regular arrangement. Fine brown divisions connect the floral and geometric panels into a continuous grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViewed along the runner, the concentric squares create a measured rhythm between the flowers. The alternating pattern remains legible from either end. Its structure combines decorative detail with a clear elongated format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHooked Wool and Runner Proportions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand-hooked wool surface shows closely arranged loops and small variations in height. These changes give the shaded petals and striped squares a tactile quality. A light cream backing is visible beneath the turned corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 223.5 × 78.7 cm, the runner suits a hallway, bedside or connecting passage. Its buttercream ground brings warmth beside wooden flooring and neutral furnishings. Burgundy flowers add richer accents without dominating the entire textile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrow brown border follows the handmade outline with minor waviness. Its colour repeats the darker lines within the geometric panels. This simple finish keeps the overall design visually coherent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition overall, with light surface wear and variations in loop height. Minor edge waviness is present. The edges show rubbing and small loose fibres, while the floral and geometric details remain well defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe turned-corner photograph shows the backing and brown edging in close detail. Additional views show the repeated pattern, surface texture and both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDate: Circa 1920s\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: United States\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Wool\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handmade, hand-hooked\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Alternating floral and concentric geometric squares\u003cbr\u003eColours: Buttercream, burgundy, rust red, dusty rose, brown, taupe and olive green\u003cbr\u003eShape: Rectangular runner\u003cbr\u003eBorder: Narrow brown surround\u003cbr\u003eBacking: Light cream backing visible at the turned corner\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 223.5 × 78.7 cm \/ 7 ft 4 in × 2 ft 7 in\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Light wear, varied loop height, minor edge waviness, rubbing and loose edge fibres\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 1B1051\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pairing of shaded flowers and stepped squares gives this runner a distinctive decorative balance.
