About the Item

This 2x3 demi lune antique hooked rug is a new addition to Rug Kilim's growing collection of rare collectible works of the provenance—a classic example of early 20th century functional folk art from the United States, made with hand-hooked wool circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This round rug exemplifies the practical yet decorative nature of American hooked rugs designed specifically for entryways. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the bold typography of "WELCOME" arching across the top in cream against a deep green background—a design choice that speaks to the emerging commercial aesthetic of the period while maintaining handcrafted appeal. The centerpiece features a delightful gray dog sitting attentively on a blue ground and a playful cat, creating a whimsical greeting for visitors. This animal motif reflects the popular incorporation of household pets and woodland creatures in domestic textiles of the era. The border employs a rich olive-brown outer edge that frames the composition effectively, while small cream-colored floral or star motifs add decorative interest to the green middle ground. The color palette demonstrates the earthy, subdued tones favored in utilitarian household textiles of the 1920s, with particular emphasis on blue, green, brown, and cream—colors that would have harmonized with the interior woodwork and furnishings of the period while concealing the inevitable wear of an entry rug. This doormat represents an important category in American textile arts—pieces that bridged pure utility with decorative charm, turning even the most mundane household items into expressions of hospitality and home pride. Its inviting message and animal motif continue to convey the same welcoming sentiment a century later, making it not just a collector's item but a functional piece of American textile history that can still serve its original purpose with distinction. Condition: This antique hooked rug has been given a new canvas backing—exclusively for wall-hanging purposes as a tapestry, in its current state—and further enjoys an overall good condition with some mild wear consistent with its age and provenance.
