This antique 3x5 American hooked rug, circa 1920–1929, features a striking geometric visual juxtaposition of layered scallop motifs in teal, coral, navy, and earth tones. Its bold symmetry and graphic appeal exemplify the decorative ingenuity of early 20th-century American folk design. On the Design: This antique hooked rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, presents a remarkably graphic visual juxtaposition built from repeating scalloped forms that radiate outward from a central diamond medallion. Arranged in concentric layers, these fan-like motifs create a sense of movement and depth while maintaining a strong geometric order. The design recalls the stylized pattern vocabulary often associated with American folk textiles and Art Deco decorative arts, where repetition and abstraction became powerful visual tools. The elongated field allows the motifs to expand rhythmically across the surface, producing a visual juxtaposition that feels both architectural and highly decorative. Particularly noteworthy is the rug’s vibrant palette of teal, coral red, navy blue, chocolate brown, ivory, and muted tan. The contrasting colors emphasize the scalloped geometry while creating a rich sense of visual rhythm and dimensionality. The hooked construction lends the surface a pronounced texture that enhances the boldness of the design and contributes to its tactile appeal. Rich in character and graphic sophistication, this piece stands as an excellent example of early twentieth-century American hooked rugs, celebrated today for their folk-art sensibility and enduring decorative versatility. Condition: This antique hooked rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
