About the Item

This 2x3 antique hooked rug is an exceptional addition to Rug & Kilim's collection of rare and collectible American hooked rugs and folk art designs—a fabulous bucolic find of early 20th century talismanic design in its provenance, made with hand-hooked wool and originating within the United States circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This hooked rug enjoys a bold horseshoe motif centered within a geometric design, in a concept much like open field rugs in its use of negative space through color. Connoisseurs will appreciate the refined compositional approach, where the lucky horseshoe is positioned centrally within an elongated hexagonal field and flanked by delicate olive branches that enhance its talismanic significance. This combination elevates the common horseshoe symbol from mere superstition to a more formal emblem of prosperity and protection. The colorway demonstrates remarkable sophistication with its deep charcoal-black central field providing dramatic contrast for the cream horseshoe and sage-green olive branches. The geometric design employs a rich blue secondary border with subtle heathered texture, all contained within a vibrant rust-red outer border. This tricolor border treatment creates a formal presentation that references traditional American flag colors while remaining subtly patriotic. The olive branches, representing peace and victory in classical symbolism, add a layer of meaning beyond simple good fortune, suggesting both protection and prosperity for the household. 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.
