This antique gift-size 2x3 hooked rug, circa 1920–1929, features a striking geometric design composed of brick-like motifs in rich jewel tones. Its graphic pattern and vibrant palette embody the creative spirit of early American hooked rugs. On the Design: This antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, presents a highly distinctive geometric visual juxtaposition built from elongated rectangular motifs arranged in rhythmic rows across the field. The pattern evokes the appearance of hand-laid brickwork or mosaic tiles, creating a remarkably visual effect despite its early twentieth-century origin. The alternating arrangement of crimson red, emerald green, ivory, soft blue, and warm brown establishes a dynamic interplay of color and geometry, while the dark outer border provides structure and visual containment. Particularly noteworthy is the rug’s strong graphic sensibility, where simple repeated forms generate movement and depth across the visual juxtaposition. The hooked construction lends a rich tactile quality that softens the precision of the design, allowing subtle variations in color and texture to emerge throughout the field. The jewel-toned palette, uncommon among many traditional American hooked examples, gives the piece a vibrant decorative presence while retaining the folk-art character that defines early American textile traditions. Compact in scale yet visually impactful, this gift-sized rug possesses an unexpectedly contemporary appeal. Condition: This antique hooked rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
