About the Item
Antique American Hooked rug, size: 2'10" x 4'10".
This 1920s American hooked rug features a classic folk-art design known as the "Tumbling Blocks" or "Baby Blocks" pattern. This highly effective optical illusion, also called cubework or rhombille tiling, creates the striking visual effect of three-dimensional, floating cubes through the clever distribution of light, medium, and dark color values within each diamond-shaped segment.
The rug displays a dense, all-over geometric arrangement of interlocking cubes that give a sense of depth and texture. Each block is composed of three diamond shapes in a mix of bright and muted tones including red, blue, green, beige, and various grays and browns, all outlined in a dark black border to enhance the graphic appeal.
Typical of antique American hooked rugs, this piece was likely hand-hooked using recycled wool or cotton fabric strips onto a burlap backing. This traditional crafting method, common in New England at the time, results in a durable, heavy-bodied textile prized for its unique, handcrafted character and soft loop-pile texture.
Ingenious in its color and composition, the rug is a vibrant example of early 20th-century American folk art. Its cheerful and idiosyncratic design makes it a versatile accent for rustic, cottage, or eclectic interiors, offering both historic charm and timeless geometric style.
