On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this piece is a special find among some of the most collectible rag rugs and the earliest forms of American folk art in our field—exemplary of the hooking process in the folksy, rustic charm and boho chic beauty it yields. This collectible piece enjoys geometric patterns in a polychromatic colorway with prominent hues of green, pink, yellow, blue, and black. Keen eyes will appreciate the particularly retro, almost mid-century modern look and feel in this piece’s unique sense of geometry—evocative of early minimalist principles, though its colors speak to maximalism. The variety of colors is as alluring to the eye as the textural, tactile beauty is to the touch—all speaking to a gorgeous work of Americana and country beauty in a versatile size with vast design applications today.
