Signed Antique Hooked Rug with Polychromatic Abstract Patterns - Rug & Kilim
About the Item
This 1x2 antique hooked rug is an rare signed piece among the most exceptional new additions to Rug & Kilim's collection of American hooked rugs and folk art designs—an exemplar of highly personalized abstract expressionism within its provenance, made with hand-hooked wool and originating within the United States circa 1920-1930.
On the Design:
This hooked rug showcases the experimental edge of American folk textile art through its strikingly modernist design that defies conventional categorization. Admirers of the craft will immediately recognize the remarkable artistic ambition evident in this piece, which incorporates the initials "BLC" at its center within a kaleidoscopic arrangement of geometric forms, zigzag patterns, and abstract elements that radiate outward from this central identity marker. The colorway presents an exuberant celebration of color theory, employing a comprehensive palette that includes vibrant reds, teals, sage greens, burgundies, salmons, and deep browns.
The strategic placement of complementary and contrasting colors creates visual dynamism that draws the eye across the field. Particularly notable are the star motifs in vivid red that anchor the lateral sections, providing symbolic weight amid the abstract elements. The geometric zigzag elements suggest awareness of Native American design traditions, while the overall design approach anticipates mid-century abstract expressionism by decades. The inclusion of initials "BLC" transforms this from mere decoration to a personal art statement, likely commemorating an individual, family, or institution of significance.
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.
