About the Item

Early 20th Century American Hooked Rug ( 4'4" x 7'4" - 132 x 223 cm ) This exceptional piece exemplifies the creativity inherent in early 20th-century American USA Rugs production. The hooked technique, utilizing repurposed fabric scraps, lends a unique, textural depth rarely achieved in woven textiles, capturing the spirit of American folk art. A large, stylized cartouche in a natural oatmeal tone anchors the composition, providing a sophisticated contrast to the intensity of the ground color and establishing a strong visual focal point. Flanking the central element are bold, scrolling acanthus leaves rendered in muted greens and browns, juxtaposed with smaller, multi-colored leaf clusters. This combination of formal European-inspired scrollwork and folk-art execution creates a distinct example of floral rugs that transcends typical domestic craft, offering a complex, layered design narrative. Measuring approximately 3x5 feet, this is an excellent example of scatter size rugs, perfect for adding historical texture to a hallway or intimate setting. As a testament to early American textile history, this piece is a highly collectible addition to any collection of antique rugs and textiles, retaining remarkable color saturation for its age.
