This exceptional Vintage American hand-hooked rug, dating to the early 1900s, is a rare and beautifully preserved example of America’s rich folk-art textile tradition.
The composition centers on a vibrant floral medallion, rendered in a harmonious palette of warm brown, soft ivory, rich purple, blush pink, and clear blue. The bold, painterly flowers are surrounded by a generous chocolate-brown border that elegantly frames the design, lending visual depth and architectural balance to the piece. Distinguished by its near-square format, this rug offers a highly versatile and design-forward alternative to conventional rectangular floor coverings.
Hand-hooked using time-honored techniques, this rug displays the expressive texture and artisanal character that define early American hooked textiles. Each looped wool pile reflects the hand of the maker, creating subtle variations that enhance its warmth, authenticity, and decorative appeal.
