Antique Hooked Rug in Beige-Cream with House Pictorial - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This 1x1 antique hooked rug is an exceptional addition to Rug & Kilim's collection of American hooked rug and folk art designs—an exemplar of early 20th century geometric designs in its provenance, made with hand-hooked wool and originating within the United States, circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This antique hooked pictorial rug showcases the pure essence of American folk art through its beautifully simple, bucolic portrait of a house and field. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the essential character of a Cape Cod-style home within such limited dimensions, demonstrating the miniaturist tendencies that occasionally emerged in American hooked rug traditions. The design achieves notable balance through the central placement of the house with its distinctive red-orange gabled roof and chimney, complemented by a single stylized tree rendered in the same warm hue. The colorway employs a restrained palette dominated by a warm cream field that allows the salmon-orange house and rust-colored tree to stand as vivid focal elements. The deep chocolate brown border provides definitive framing that enhances the central image while containing the design effectively within its unusually small format. This square rug has distilled the concept of "home" to its most essential components—structure, chimney, windows, door, and a single tree—creating a powerful symbolic representation rather than a detailed architectural portrait. This gift-sized piece represents an important category in American textile arts—the miniature format that attempted to convey meaning through maximum simplification, thereby making it a versatile decorative element for contemporary interiors. 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.
