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.
