Lot 475: Semi-Circular Sculpted Wool Hearth Rug in Dusty Rose and Cream
A semi-circular hand-tufted wool rug featuring a central dusty rose field. The design incorporates a central floral medallion rendered in cream, blue, and light green wool. This floral theme is echoed in a wide cream border along the curved edge, which features scrolling foliate and floral motifs. A matching floral border runs along the straight top edge. The rug is constructed with a thick wool pile that has been hand-carved or incised around the floral elements to create a three-dimensional, sculpted effect. A white cotton fringe is present along both the straight and curved edges. The underside shows a heavy canvas backing characteristic of tufted construction. No maker’s marks or labels are visible on the rug; a small orange adhesive label is present but appears to be a temporary processing sticker and is not a permanent part of the item.
Condition report:
The rug is in good overall condition. The wool pile appears thick and even across the surface. The cotton fringe shows some minor tangling and unevenness along the curved edge. No significant staining, moth damage, or structural repairs are visible in the provided image. The colours appear consistent, with no obvious signs of fading.
