Antique American Hooked Rug American Floral, Medallion Hooked, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional hooked piece captures the domestic textile artistry prevalent in the early 20th century, showcasing a charming blend of folk art technique and formal design sensibility.

The central field is dominated by a beautifully rendered floral wreath, executed in vibrant reds, muted greens, and soft terracotta tones. This strong central motif is characteristic of floral rugs that sought to emulate grander European styles, yet retains the distinct texture and naïveté unique to the hooked medium.

The palette is anchored by a luminous ivory background, which provides a crisp contrast to the deep, striated brown border framing the piece. The small scale of the rug suggests it was intended as a decorative accent or small scatter size piece, perfect for adding warmth and historical depth to an intimate space.

As a fine example of early 20th-century textile craft, this item offers collectors a tangible link to the history of antique rugs. The careful handiwork and enduring quality confirm its status as a highly desirable piece of Americana, preserved in excellent condition for nearly a century. See less
