About the Item
Antique American Hooked rug, size: 2'10" x 5'1".
This early 20th-century American hooked rug (circa 1920s) is a charming example of folk art with a unique, individual design that marries geometric structure with whimsical motifs. The repeating pattern of squares and diamonds gives it an organized, patchwork-quilt-like appearance, a style popular among rural crafters in New England and beyond.
Description
The rug features a grid layout of squares separated by red diamond motifs and tan triangles, a pattern sometimes related to the "hour glass" or "trip around the world" quilt designs. Each individual light beige square contains a different hand-drawn motif, showcasing the artist's personal touch. Visible motifs include stylized red and pink flowers, a bird, and cross-like shapes, all outlined in a dark color 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 or jute backing. The process often involved a stenciled pattern that the maker filled in using their own choice of materials and colors, leading to delightful variations. This traditional method 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 and personal piece of Americana. Its cheerful and idiosyncratic design makes it a versatile accent for rustic, cottage, or eclectic interiors, offering both historic charm and timeless graphic style. Many examples of this high-quality folk art are considered collectible works.
