Antique Hooked Rug in Beige-Cream Rural Life 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 1920s. On the Design: This evocative winter scene featured in this square rug captures the serene essence of rural American life through its simple, yet charming pastoral design. Keen eyes for detail will appreciate the studied balance achieved through the placement of the central yellow house with its distinctive black-outlined gable roof, flanked by stylized evergreen trees that anchor the left side of the design and balanced by a bare deciduous tree on the right—creating a perfect visual harmony through opposing seasonal elements. The colorway demonstrates exceptional restraint, employing a winter-white field that conveys the snow-covered landscape, with the warm yellow of the house providing a compelling focal point against this cool background. The deep chocolate brown border frames the scene effectively while echoing the fence line at the composition's foreground. The selective use of green for the evergreens creates a natural punctuation in the otherwise monochromatic winter landscape. This square rug has featured not just a scene but a moment in time—winter's quiet transformation of the rural landscape, with the house standing as a symbol of warmth and shelter amid the season's starkness. The simple rail fence in the foreground creates both compositional depth and a symbolic boundary, inviting the viewer into this intimate winter vignette. The piece speaks to both nostalgic appreciation of rural American life and contemporary design sensibilities that value clarity, restraint, and bucolic beauty. 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.
