Antique Hooked Rug with Fruit Wreath on Burgundy Field & Vine Border - Rug & Kilim
This antique 4x6 hooked rug, circa 1920–1929, features a vibrant fruit and floral wreath medallion set against a rich burgundy field. Its decorative visual juxtaposition and folk-art character embody the charm of early American hooked textiles.
On the Design:
This antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, presents a richly decorative visual juxtaposition centered on an elaborate fruit and floral wreath enclosing the embroidered inscription “Autumn.” The cream-colored medallion serves as a luminous focal point against the deep burgundy ground, creating dramatic contrast and emphasizing the abundance of the surrounding botanical and harvest motifs. Grapes, pineapples, apples, berries, and flowering stems are rendered in vivid hues, reflecting the celebratory spirit of early American folk art.
Equally compelling is the restrained use of the surrounding field, where clusters of grapes, leaves, and blossoms occupy the corners and borders without overwhelming the visual juxtaposition. The hooked construction lends remarkable texture and depth to each motif, allowing the varied colors to emerge with exceptional richness. The rug’s harvest theme, symmetrical arrangement, and saturated palette evoke the decorative traditions of American domestic textiles from the early twentieth century, while its artistic visual juxtaposition gives it the presence of a framed folk-art tapestry. Rich in character and craftsmanship, this piece represents one of the more pictorial expressions within American hooked rug traditions.
