On the Design:

This antique hooked rug exemplifies the emerging modernist sensibilities that began influencing American decorative arts in the early 20th century. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the sophisticated concentric rectangle design that demonstrates remarkable restraint and geometric precision rarely seen in hooked rugs of this period. The design reflects the growing influence of European modernism on American decorative arts, particularly the principles of the Bauhaus and Art Deco movements that were beginning to reach American shores. The colorway features predominantly earth tones—--rich chocolate brown outer border that transitions through salmon pink to golden beige, with a central rectangular motif in warm amber. This gradient effect creates visual depth and movement despite the strictly geometric format. Its geometric design and color relationships make it exceptionally versatile for contemporary interiors, demonstrating how the most forward-thinking designs of earlier eras maintain their relevance and visual impact across changing design epochs.

Condition:

This antique hooked rug has been given a new canvas backing—exclusively for wall-hanging purposes as a tapestry, in its current state—and further enjoys an overall good condition with some mild wear consistent with its age and provenance. See less
