1920's Art Deco Bauhaus American Hooked Carpet

About the Item

79114 Antique Art Deco Bauhaus American Hooked Rug, 02'08 x 03'07. This semi-antique American hooked rug is a striking representation of the dynamic design movements that defined the early 20th century—Art Deco and Bauhaus. Crafted with precision and artistry, the hand-hooked American rug captures the essence of modernism with its bold geometric forms, rhythmic curves, and a harmonious interplay of color. Its richly textured surface reveals the dedication of skilled artisans who transformed functional textiles into works of art. The palette—a symphony of crimson red, golden ochre, deep blue, and soft neutrals—imbues the composition with energy while maintaining a sense of balance and refinement. The American hooked rug's design is a testament to the Art Deco era (1920s–1940s), a period known for its celebration of luxury, progress, and modern aesthetics. The angular lines and streamlined shapes mirror the architectural innovations and artistic flair of the time, while the vibrant curves recall the sleek elegance seen in jazz-age interiors. These elements combine seamlessly with Bauhaus principles, which prioritize form, function, and simplicity. The result is a composition that feels both structured and fluid, embodying the artistic experimentation that flourished in the wake of industrialization. American hooked rugs, such as this one, hold a special place in the history of textile art. Originating as practical, handcrafted floor coverings, they became canvases for creativity in the hands of rural and urban artisans alike. During the early to mid-20th century, hooked rugs evolved from humble folk traditions to modern expressions influenced by global design movements. This rug stands as a cultural bridge, blending the ingenuity of American craft with the avant-garde sensibilities of European design schools like the Bauhaus and the glamour of Art Deco. Perfect for collectors and design enthusiasts, this Art Deco Bauhaus hooked rug is more than a decorative textile—it is a celebration of an era when art and function became inseparable. Its bold yet timeless aesthetic makes it a versatile addition to any interior, whether as a statement piece in a modern loft, a mid-century home, or an eclectic vintage-inspired space. Preserving the spirit of innovation and artistry, this rug continues to enchant, telling a story of creativity, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of design. Due to its fragile condition, we strongly recommend displaying this piece as wall art rather than using it as a floor covering. Over time, the materials have developed signs of wear, making it better suited for appreciation as a decorative textile rather than enduring foot traffic. Hanging this piece allows its intricate design and historical charm to be preserved while transforming it into a compelling focal point in nearly any space. Abrash. Hand-hooked wool. Made in the United States. Measures: 02'08 x 03'07. Pile Height: 0.10 of an inch. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
