Antique Hooked Rug in Brown with Dalmatian Dog Pictorial - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This 2x3 antique hooked rug is an exceptional addition to Rug & Kilim's collection of American hooked rugs and folk art designs—an exemplar of early 20th century pictorial animal imagery, made with hand-hooked wool and originating within the United States, circa 1920-1930. On the Design: This hooked rug showcases the enduring American fascination with canine companions through its charming depiction of a Dalmatian dog as the central motif. Connoisseurs will appreciate the folk art stylization that captures the essence of the breed with its characteristic spotted coat rendered with delightful naivety against a landscape background. The composition achieves remarkable balance through the strategic placement of the dog in profile, its head turned slightly toward the viewer in an engaging pose. The colorway employs a warm earth-toned palette typical of the period, with sandy beige dominating the background and providing excellent contrast for the white and black spotted dog. The landscape elements are depicted through stylized rolling hills and simplified berry-bearing trees or bushes with distinctive red fruit, creating a seasonal context that suggests an autumnal setting.This piece represents an important category in American hooked rug history—the celebration of domestic pets and working animals that played vital roles in American households. The Dalmatian, with its distinctive markings and association with both firefighting and status, makes it a particularly interesting subject choice, possibly indicating the original owner's occupation or aspirations. 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.
