About the Item

This vintage American hand-hooked rug features a striking pictorial depiction of a proud rooster standing tall and crowing—an enduring folk art symbol of rural life and morning vitality. Rendered in a rich, earthy palette of green, brown, and wheat tones, the rug captures both whimsy and grounded simplicity with its expressive design and handmade charm. Crafted in the early-to-mid 20th century and bearing a date of creation, this piece is a tangible record of American domestic creativity. Like many hooked rugs of the period, it was made using recycled textiles such as old clothing or feed sacks, which were cut into narrow strips and carefully hooked into a stenciled burlap foundation. The rug remains in excellent condition, preserving the vibrancy of its original colors and the integrity of its folk composition. Whether displayed as wall art or used as a decorative accent on a table or bench, this rooster-themed rug is a celebration of Americana, craftsmanship, and character. A collectible piece that speaks to both the ingenuity and aesthetic vision of its unknown maker.

Vintage American Hand Hooked Rug in a Stripe Pattern in Blue, Green, Red, Taupe
Located in Barrington, IL
Discover the charming simplicity and enduring artistry of American folk craft with this Vintage American Hand Hooked Rug, meticulously handcrafted in the 1st quarter of the 20th century. This delightful piece features a classic stripe pattern, brought to life with a harmonious palette of serene blue, verdant green, classic red, and earthy taupe. The tradition of "hooking" rugs originated in New England, starting as a creative pastime for farmers during the long, cold winter nights of the Northeast in the early 1800s. These rugs, once functional pieces for the home as either table decorations or wall art, embody a unique blend of folk art creativity and simplicity. Historically, hooked rugs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries were resourcefully made using recycled materials, often narrow strips cut from old clothing.

This rug's special design and brilliant colors make it a truly artistic creation. Due to the inherent delicacy in the material and construction of vintage hand hooked rugs...
