About the Item

This 2x3 antique hooked rug is a delightful addition to Rug & Kilim's growing collection of rare and collectible works of the provenance—a charming example of early 20th century folk art from the United States, made with hand-hooked wool circa 1920-1930. On the Design: Exemplifying the quintessential pastoral storytelling tradition that defined American hooked rugs of the period, this antique hooked rug features a serene countryside landscape framed by a distinctive rounded border with simple foliate corner motifs—a presentation format reminiscent of period photography or paintings. Admirers of the craft will note this piece is a special find among some of the most collectible rag rugs and the earliest forms of American folk art in our field—exemplary of the hooking process in the folksy, rustic charm and boho chic beauty it yields. The central scene depicts a quintessential rural American homestead, complete with a striking red barn that serves as the visual anchor against the muted beige field. The colorway maintains remarkable authenticity to the period, employing a restrained palette dominated by warm earth tones with the strategic use of red for the barn and subtle touches of green in the distant sky and cypress-like trees. The pictorial format represents an important chapter in American textile history, when rug making transitioned from purely utilitarian crafts to expressive art forms that preserved idealized visions of American life. This element is among the many beauties that speaks to each hooked rug as a distinct piece in the style—no two alike, yet this piece is arguably an exemplar of the more simple, comfortable gift-sized works one might find among these works of American and country charm. Condition: This antique hooked rug has been given a new canvas backing—exclusively for wall-hanging purposes as a tapestry, in its current state—and further enjoys an overall good condition with some mild wear consistent with its age and provenance.
