Hooked Rug 2325

This distinctive vintage American hand-hooked rug, crafted in the early 1900s in New England, is a compelling example of early American folk-art textile tradition. Featuring a striking pair of stylized moths, the design evokes the graceful movement of birds in flight, creating a rhythmic and visually poetic composition that feels both symbolic and decorative.

Woven in a beautifully balanced palette of warm tan, soft ivory, and rich brown, the rug is enlivened by subtle green and red accent tones that add depth and visual interest without overpowering the composition. The motif is rendered with the charming irregularity and expressive simplicity that defines authentic antique hooked rugs, making this piece especially appealing to collectors and designers seeking textiles with soul and story.

American hooked rugs of this period were created as functional works of art—often designed by the maker and hooked by hand using wool strips pulled through a burlap or linen foundation. This technique gives each rug a painterly quality, with slight variations in color and texture that cannot be replicated in modern production.
