Vintage American Hand Hooked Rug in a Geometric Block Pattern in Pastel Colors
Located in Barrington, IL
19th Century hand hooked rug in a free form design, We are intrigued with the novelty and the imagination of the maker in creating such a wonderful and rare design in earth tone colors. 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. Because of the delicacy in the material and construction of vintage hand hooked rugs...

The blue around the edges is a pearlized blue color, and alternates between scallops between the pearlized blue and gold. The technique in which the blue and gold has been applied shows slight brush strokes. A lovely detail that makes this piece unique.
Inside at the center of the plate, scenes of Oregon are artfully applied. Such as Mt. Thielsen & Diamond Lake, Multnomah Falls...
