On the Design:

This hooked rug features a whimsical pictorial design with a pack of four marching soldiers, two balls, and two stuffed toys in hues of red, blue, gold, and beige. 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. This piece is one of the rarest rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique pictorial design for this craft.

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. See less
