About the Item
Vibrant Antique American Hooked Rug with Baroque Foliage Border
Size: 7'0" × 7'0" (213 × 213 cm)
Bold, whimsical, and richly textured, this square antique American hooked rug is a celebration of color and craftsmanship. Likely dating to the early 20th century, the piece features a stunning interplay of artistic tradition and folk ingenuity.
At its center, an energetic field of vertical, multicolored striations recalls the rhythmic motion of a painted canvas, evoking a sense of movement and vitality. The palette is expansive yet harmonious, incorporating hues ranging from sun-kissed ochres and siennas to verdant greens, navy, crimson, and soft pastels—all arranged in irregular bands that mimic woven cloth or the randomness of nature.
Surrounding this kinetic core is a richly detailed foliate border in deep autumnal tones. Lush scrolling acanthus leaves in warm amber, chestnut, and espresso brown create a dramatic contrast against the dark ground. Interspersed among them are clusters of oak-like leaves in variegated shades of red, olive, green, and gold, lending a botanical vibrancy that feels both grounded and ornate.
The rug’s thick hooked pile and tight construction are typical of American folk textile traditions, offering both durability and a tactile, dimensional surface. Its balanced square shape and exuberant patterning make it an ideal candidate for use as a statement piece—whether underfoot, hung as a textile artwork, or layered for eclectic impact.
This rug is not only a decorative marvel but also a testament to the artistry and storytelling of early American domestic craft.
A remarkable vintage rug, from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, features a timeless elegance. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
