Antique Hooked Demi Lune Rug in Beige with Fruit Bowl Pictorials - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This 2x3 demi lune antique hooked rug is a new addition to Rug & Kilim's growing collection of rare collectible works of the provenance—a classic example of early 20th century functional folk art from the United States, made with hand-hooked wool circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This round rug features still life motifs that began appearing in American hooked rugs as the craft evolved beyond purely geometric or naive pictorial designs. Keen eyes for detail will appreciate the delicate rendering of a fruit bowl centerpiece—a design choice that reflects the influence of Victorian decorative sensibilities that continued into the 1920s American home. The central basket, depicted with diagonal striping and graceful curved handles, contains a carefully arranged bouquet of fruits including purple grapes, yellow pears, red apples, and white peaches, all accented with vibrant green leaves. This cornucopia imagery symbolizes abundance and hospitality—themes particularly resonant in American domestic textiles of this period. The color palette features vivid fruit colors set against a warm beige field that enhances their visual impact. The wide black border creates dramatic contrast and frames the composition elegantly, a design choice that shows sophistication beyond typical folk art examples. This round rug exemplifies the transition period where American hooked rug making was evolving from purely utilitarian craft to a recognized art form worthy of display in the finest homes. Condition: This antique hooked rug has been given a new canvas backing, and further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin, with some mild wear consistent with its age and provenance.
