Antique American Hooked Rug American 1930s, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional hooked textile represents the enduring folk art tradition of the American USA Rugs, showcasing the vibrant, textural quality characteristic of the Depression-era craft movement. The central field is framed by a sophisticated border, a contrast often found in domestic weaving.

The design utilizes a large, open central field of variegated rust and ochre tones, creating an abstract, almost painterly effect. This is sharply contrasted by the wide, cream-colored frame featuring stylized green and taupe scrolling vines. While the center is reserved, the overall composition avoids a strict medallion structure, leaning toward an allover pattern within the border itself.

Executed in a practical dimension, this piece functions perfectly as a small scatter size accent, ideal for adding a layer of historical texture to a hallway or beside a piece of period furniture. The robust hooking technique ensures inherent durability, reflecting the utilitarian origins of these domestic textiles and their continued viability today.

As a fine example of early 20th-century textile production, this rug offers collectors a tangible link to American decorative history. It stands as a testament to the creativity inherent in functional art and is a distinguished addition to our curated collection of antique rugs. See less
