Antique American Hooked Rug Hallway Runner Wool Ivory, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite piece represents the finest tradition of American textile craft, blending folk art technique with sophisticated European design sensibilities. Hooked rugs from this era often captured the romanticism of earlier centuries, making them highly sought-after antique rugs for modern interiors.

The foundation of this runner is defined by its luminous field of ivory color, providing a soft, neutral canvas that allows the complex floral arrangement to flourish. This pale ground is expertly contrasted by a rich, mossy olive-brown border, which frames the composition with depth and formality. The interplay of light and dark hues enhances the dimensionality inherent in the hooked technique, a hallmark of skilled American workmanship.

The design features a magnificent central bouquet rendered in soft pastels—pinks, lavenders, and sage greens—a vibrant contrast to the subdued field. The dense, scrolling acanthus leaves that form the border create a powerful visual frame. Although centered, the sheer volume of the decorative elements gives the impression of an allover design, ensuring visual interest across the entire length of the textile.

Constructed of durable wool, this textile retains the plush texture characteristic of quality American hooked work. Its specific dimensions designate it as an ideal rug, perfect for adding warmth, color, and historical resonance to transitional spaces like corridors or entryways. This piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of 1930s decorative arts and their ability to elevate contemporary design schemes. See less
