Antique American American Hooked Rug Multicolor 1940s, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1940s. This remarkable textile is a quintessential example of the pictorial folk art tradition specific to the American hooked rug style. Executed during the 1940s, it captures a detailed, almost naive landscape that celebrates the natural beauty inherent in American USA Rugs.

The composition is a sophisticated narrative piece, cleverly merging the four seasons into a single, cohesive vista. Elements of spring (flowering trees, tulips), summer (lush green fields), autumn (golden aspens, cornucopia), and winter (snowman, snow-covered ground) coexist, creating a whimsical yet deeply symbolic representation of time and the natural cycle.

The texture is robust and tactile, characteristic of the looping technique used in this medium. The visual impact is driven by a vibrant multicolor palette, utilizing jewel tones and earthy neutrals to define the complex topography, from rugged mountain peaks to serene pastoral valleys.

This piece functions not merely as a floor covering but as a significant piece of textile art, suitable for display on a wall or as a charming scatter size accent in a sophisticated interior. As a highly collectible example among antique rugs, this piece offers unique provenance and enduring decorative appeal. See less
