Handmade in wool, circa 1920-1929, this 3x4 antique hooked rug is a soulful, narrative-rich addition to Rug & Kilim’s Antique collection. This piece functions as a definitive work of American textile folk art, bridging intimate, historic craftsmanship with the decorative demands of curated contemporary design. On the Design: This charming antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, features a romantic floral medallion pattern, defined by a lush central bouquet encased within a sculpted botanical frame. The field is rendered in a dramatic, deeply saturated charcoal grey, punctuated by a painterly cluster of rose pink, butter yellow, and delicate white blossoms that appear to bloom gracefully from the dark ground. Complementing the central field is an intricate, architectural border showcasing overlapping, dimensional leaves in a muted sage green. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the masterful hand-hooked technique that honors the vernacular textile traditions inherent to 1920s American folk art, ensuring the design’s purity is matched by its historic, tactile charm. The rug’s densely packed, resilient wool body is a hallmark of its era, crafted for enduring character and longevity in intimate or bespoke spaces. This piece represents R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal’s vision to honor the American Arts and Crafts aesthetic, serving as a celebration of these iconic historic designs through expert, museum-quality curation. It is a soulful contribution to the decorative folk art style, achieving timeless functionality and grace. Condition: This antique hooked rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
