About the Item

Handmade with wool in Germany circa 1920-1930, this 11x24 antique hooked rug is an extremely rare oversized rug of its kind, and exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s curations of this celebrated European weaving tradition—among the few works remaining today of the Tetex provenance. On the Design: Teal blue and green field features intricate floral detailing, flanked by matching medallions in the centre and the corners creating a balanced symmetrical design characteristic of superior carpet design in this antique German Tetex Hooked rug. Keen eyes for detail may admire this distinctive hooked technique that lends a unique texture to the rug, adding a more impressionistic, playful feel to its traditional sensibility. The rich field provides a luxurious backdrop densely populated with small-scale floral motifs—stylized palmettes, rosettes, and vine scrollwork that demonstrate the precision possible through advanced German weaving technology. Few rugs in its era, and even fewer in this rare provenance, boast this sheer range of hues and the attention to detail in its all over pattern. The color palette reflects European preference for deep, saturated tones—the teal field creating dramatic foundation while brown border elements provide luminous contrast that frames the design. The elaborate border reveals exceptional geometric mastery through multiple guard and floral borders featuring reciprocal patterns, stylized vine scrollwork, and corner rosettes that demonstrate sophisticated understanding of traditional carpet design hierarchy. This German Tetex rug functions as a commanding centerpiece ideal for traditional or formal interiors celebrating European decorative arts heritage. Condition: This oversized antique German Tetex hooked rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage.
