About the Item
Vibrant Vintage American Hooked Rug in Purple and Grey
Size: 8'7" × 14'5" (261 × 439 cm)
Bold, expressive, and unapologetically vibrant, this vintage American hooked rug from the mid-20th century is a standout piece that captures the charm and ingenuity of American folk textile tradition. Featuring a striking all-over lattice of starburst or floral medallions in vivid purple, set against a mottled black-and-white ground, the rug showcases a graphic punch with a distinctly modern feel despite its vintage origins.
Each motif is surrounded by a crisply hooked black outline, creating a rhythmic pattern that is both symmetrical and dynamic. The outer border, composed of diagonal stripes in alternating purple and black, neatly frames the interior, adding a playful edge and enhancing the overall cohesion of the design.
Crafted from recycled fabric strips—a hallmark of traditional hooked rug techniques—this piece exemplifies the practicality and artistry of its maker. The visible texture of the looped surface adds depth and tactile richness, while the color palette injects bold personality, making it ideal for eclectic, contemporary, or maximalist interiors.
A remarkable vintage rug, from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, features a timeless elegance. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.

Vintage American Hand Hooked Rug in Block Pattern
Located in Barrington, IL
Vintage American hand hooked area rug in a block pattern circa the early 20th century. The very unique and beautiful design in this vintage folk art hooked rug consists of a 4 x 6 block pattern each containing a different design. The design in this hand hooked rug is unique since half the blocks are in a geometric pattern and the other half of floral pattern The design is set on a tan color background. The colors in each block are vibrant and make them stand out. Beautiful piece of Americana folk art to be used as a table top display or a wall art.
The hooked rugs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are made with recycled old material, often used clothing that had been cut into narrow stripes. The foundation of hooked rugs is generally burlap material which the maker uses the stenciling technique to transfer the pattern into the surface. Once the design has been transferred to burlap, it would then be filled with the recycled material stripes and more recently yarn using the hooking technique. The use of special design and the brilliant colors makes this truly an artistic piece wonderful to be used as a wall art or displayed on a table. Antique Hooked Rugs are a combination of Folk Art Creativity and Simplicity.
