About the Item
A charming and whimsical example of early American textile folk art, this hand-hooked rug from the early 20th century beautifully depicts a pair of lovebirds perched on a tree branch. Rendered in a delightful palette of ivory, lavender pink, forest green, rust red, and black, the design captures the imagination and spirit of its maker with warmth and creativity.
Handcrafted using recycled materials—often repurposed clothing—cut into narrow strips and hooked into a stenciled burlap foundation, this piece is emblematic of the resourceful artistry of rural American craft traditions. The rug’s novel composition and vibrant coloration make it particularly well-suited for use as wall art or a decorative tabletop accent.
Hooked rugs from this period are delicate and should be used with care. This piece, with its narrative charm and enduring simplicity, stands as a wonderful testament to American folk art and would bring soulful character to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
