Dating to circa the 1920s, it combines cheerful botanical ornament with a scrolling leaf frame. A rich burgundy ground gives the pale border leaves a strong contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed daisy-like blossoms sit near the centre, accompanied by rounded yellow flowers and smaller lavender bell-shaped blooms. Sage foliage links the flowers into a balanced composition. Dark brown outlines separate petals, stems and leaves, giving the arrangement a lively graphic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMirrored Flowers on Cream\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe floral design extends in opposite directions from the middle of the rug. Red and coral petals surround yellow centres. Nearby, soft yellow flowers provide broader rounded shapes among the pointed green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall blooms introduce lavender, pale green and orange accents without overwhelming the cream background. Their slender stems weave between the larger flowers. This mixture of scale keeps the central arrangement varied while preserving its mirrored structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe warm cream field gives the individual motifs room to stand out. Its lightly varied surface also softens the dark outlines. Together, the colours create a decorative centre that feels bright without relying on a white ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScrolling Acanthus Frame\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePale sage acanthus leaves sweep along both sides and curl inward across the ends. Their long branching forms create an ornamental frame around the flowers. Fine dark lines follow the leaf contours and emphasise each curling tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind this scrollwork, burgundy fills the outer ground. The contrast gives the border definition while connecting with the red flowers inside. Dark bound edges provide a narrow finish around the rectangular outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHand-Hooked Wool Texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-hooked wool forms the patterned surface, with variations in loop height visible across the design. The reverse shows a tan woven backing. These contrasting surfaces reveal the textile’s construction without distracting from its floral face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 76.2 × 134.6 cm, the rug has compact rectangular proportions. It suits a bedside, dressing area or quiet reading space. Cream and sage pair easily with pale upholstery, while the burgundy and red complement warmer wood tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood overall condition for its age, with surface wear and variations in loop height. A small elongated area of worn or missing loops exposes the foundation in the cream field near one end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinor edge wear and a small irregularity along the burgundy border are also present. The exposed-foundation area remains visible and forms part of the rug’s current condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDate: Circa 1920s\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: United States\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Wool, with woven backing visible on the reverse\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handmade, hand-hooked\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Mirrored floral composition framed by scrolling acanthus leaves\u003cbr\u003eColours: Cream, burgundy, sage green, red, yellow, lavender, coral and dark brown\u003cbr\u003eShape: Rectangular\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 76.2 × 134.6 cm \/ 2 ft 6 in × 4 ft 5 in\u003cbr\u003eEdge finish: Dark bound edges\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Surface wear, uneven loop height, localised loop loss exposing foundation and minor edge wear\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 1B1046\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mirrored flowers and expansive acanthus leaves give this small rug a generous decorative presence.
