This charming early 20th-century American hand-hooked rug exemplifies the warmth, artistry, and folk traditions of New England textile craftsmanship. Handcrafted in the early 1900s, this rug showcases a graceful floral composition, rendered in a palette of softly aged ivory, green, blue, and warm brown—tones that have mellowed beautifully with time.
Each motif was individually hand-hooked from dyed wool, giving the surface a gently raised texture and a painterly quality that is uniquely characteristic of antique hooked rugs. The floral pattern reflects the rural gardens and decorative sensibilities of turn-of-the-century America, offering both visual charm and historic authenticity.
Highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike, antique American hooked rugs bridge the worlds of folk art and functional textile. This rug is not only a decorative accent but also a tangible piece of American cultural history.
