Vintage American hand hooked rug in a stripe pattern handcrafted in the 4th quarter of the 1800s in the New England Area of the United States. The handwoven hooked rug has a series of slanted stripes in various brilliant colors. The material in the body is rag material that has been cut into narrow pieces and used in the body of the rug. The use of special design and the brilliant colors makes this truly an artistic piece wonderful to be used as a wall tapestry.
The tradition of Hooked Rug started in New England. “Hooking” is the term used to describe the technique of hand crafting these rugs started as a hobby for the farmers in the long and dark cold winter nights of North East States in the US in the early 1800s. Hooked rugs were made as functional pieces for the home either as a table decoration or a wall art. Antique Hooked Rugs are a combination of Folk Art Creativity and Simplicity. When it comes to true simplicity and artistic creativity Antique Hooked Rugs have some of the best representations.

Mid-19th Century Four-Color American Jacquard Coverlet
Located in Barrington, IL
An exceptional example of 19th-century American textile artistry, this signed four-color Jacquard coverlet originates from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and is dated 1859. Featuring a striking palette of navy blue, red, ivory, and pale green, the piece is intricately woven with fine detail and craftsmanship. The coverlet is inscribed “Michael Umbarger, Middle Paxton Township Da. Co. 1859 Amos Killinger,” honoring both the recipient and the weaver — a common yet meaningful tradition made possible by the Jacquard loom, which allowed personalization through the intricate weaving process.
Woven by hand, this textile exemplifies the popularity and artistry of American coverlets in the mid-1800s, prized both for their functional warmth and decorative value. Whether draped over a bed, displayed as a wall hanging, or styled in a heritage-rich interior, this coverlet brings a unique narrative and historic charm to any refined setting.
Perfect for collectors, designers, and decorators seeking rare and storied textiles to elevate traditional or eclectic interiors.

19th Century Persian Baluch Tribal Double Saddlebag in Blue, Pale Yellow, Navy
Located in Barrington, IL
A 19th century Persian Baluch tribal soumak double saddlebag. The front of the bag has a beautiful geometric design in a green/blue color set on a yellow background. The variation in color in the green/blue design is very beautiful. The Baluch double saddlebags have a flatwoven kilim in a rich brown and rust red color.
This complete saddlebag is also known as “khorjin” in Persian, or a double bag set. These bags are renowned for their beautiful colors and design which is the result of using fine wool for both pile and the foundation of the rugs and the use of organic vegetable dyes. One usually sees only one of the panels but this piece has both side panels and the banded design kilim which forms the back of the bag. The saddlebags were used by tribes to move their household items from one location to another from their seasonal moves.
Dimensions: 1’ 7” x 2’ 7”
Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s
Place of Origin: SE Persia
