Antique Hooked Rug in Beige-Brown with Animal Pictorial Patterns | Rug & Kilim
Handmade in wool and originating circa 1920-1930, this 2x3 rug is a rare and exciting new curation in Rug & Kilim’s collection of antique hooked rugs.
On the Design:
This charming American hooked rug captures the whimsy of early 20th-century folk art with its playful canine portrait set in a pastoral scene. Admirers of the craft will note this among some of the richest, most collectible works of folk art and among the earliest forms of American folk art in our field—an exemplar of folksy charm and art as much as an accent rug, from a distinguished weaving tradition of Americana with vast design applications today. The artisan's attention to detail is evident in the stylized foliage framing the scene – rounded green bushes and vertical tree elements create a balanced woodland setting. The dark border provides dramatic contrast while containing the pictorial narrative.
This piece is one of the most beautiful rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique animal pictorial design for this craft. While rare in all rugs, hooked rugs like this one are especially desirable for being one of the styles where scenery depictions are celebrated, though each piece remains one of a kind.
Condition:
This antique hooked rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—a rare and collectible piece of history for both designer and connoisseur alike. Buyers and decorators will note that many pieces in this collection are currently on a wooden frame, and can be sold as is for wall-hanging projects or removed for flooring projects upon request.
"Rug & Kilim's inventory spans the past four centuries and includes everything from ethnic and tribal patterns to European designs, as well as a host of Art Deco, abstract and understated tone-on-tone offerings, all in a vast array of materials, weaves and sizes."
