Antique Hooked Rug, Beige and Cream with Homestead Pictorial - Rug & Kilim

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 domestic architectural narrative so cherished in American hooked rugs of this period, this antique hooked rug features a quintessential New England homestead as its central subject, framed by bare autumn trees that suggest seasonal specificity. The distinctive border, with its regularly spaced red and cream decorative elements, creates a frame that enhances rather than competes with the central image. The colorway demonstrates the warm, autumnal palette that dominated American folk textile art of this era, with particular attention to the rusty orange of the trees and house roof contrasting beautifully against the buttery yellow of the home's facade. Admirers of the craft may appreciate the intuitive perspective techniques, with the house nestled naturally between protective trees in a truly harmonious scene. The subtle gradations in the background suggest rolling terrain, with hints of green hillsides creating depth and perspective that reveal remarkable sophistication for a folk art piece. This rug captures not merely a dwelling but an entire national ethos—the cherished homestead surrounded by the beauty of the American landscape, preserved through an indigenous art form that continues to resonate with collectors and decorators for its historical significance and enduring appeal. 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.
