Antique Hooked Geometric Square Rug with Twin Dove Pictorials - Rug & Kilim
About the Item
This 2x4 antique hooked square rug is a delightful addition to Rug & Kilim's collection of American hooked rug and folk art designs—an exceptional find among early 20th century pictorial works of its rare provenance, made with hand-hooked wool and originating within the United States, circa 1920-1930.
On the Design:
This evocative hooked rug showcases the symbolic vocabulary that infused American decorative arts of the period through its distinctive paired dove motif. Keen eyes for detail will appreciate the sophisticated design of this square rug featuring two cream-colored doves in mirrored profile, each carrying a stylized red rose in its beak—a powerful visual metaphor for peace, love, and partnership that transcends mere decoration to convey deeper meaning. The colorway demonstrates remarkable restraint and harmony, with the cream-colored doves standing in stark relief against the deep brown scalloped medallion that frames them. The roses provide strategic accents of vibrant red that punctuate the otherwise earth-toned palette. The concentric borders move outward from this central medallion through a golden amber inner border to a chocolate brown outer edge, creating a nested frame that enhances the central image's importance.
The scalloped medallion format creates a formal cartouche that elevates the subject matter from simple folk art to a more deliberate decorative statement. The perfect symmetry of the mirrored doves creates balance while their outward-facing orientation suggests protection of the shared space between them—a visual representation of matrimonial harmony that suggests this may have been created as a wedding or anniversary gift. The pairing of doves and roses draws on universal symbols of peace and love that would have been immediately recognizable to viewers of the period, communicating values central to American domestic life.
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.
