Featuring a striking geometric pattern, each block of this unique piece is designed to evoke the illusion of depth, with central vanishing points that draw the eye inward, reminiscent of looking down a funnel.
Expertly handcrafted using traditional rag hooking techniques, narrow strips of repurposed fabric were meticulously worked into the foundation to create this richly textured and colorful artwork. The palette of ivory, pink, orange, and blue offers a vibrant yet nostalgic feel, perfectly capturing the spirit of 19th-century American craftsmanship.
Originally made as a functional yet decorative home accent, this antique rug now stands as a remarkable example of American folk art, making it an ideal candidate for display as a wall tapestry. Its blend of simplicity, creativity, and artisanal heritage makes it a timeless addition to both classic and eclectic interiors.
