Antique American hooked rugs are renowned for their beautiful appearance and fine texturing. They arose from the American tradition of weaving, where specialty hooks were used to create a more precise effect within the antique rug itself. Many of these American rugs feature traditional early American motifs, including beautiful leaves and natural arrangements of flowers and blossoms. A simple solid color border surrounds the heart of the antique American hooked rug, where the floral motifs are arranged in a beautifully flowing oval. Two primary oval arrangements are set around each other, with the smaller within the larger, and the comfortable use of natural floral tones lends a sense of realism to the composition as a whole.
The natural flow and rhythm in this area rug creates an elegant look into an agrarian scene. Rolling fields give way to blossoming flowers and beautifully defined stalks and growths. These plants unfurl outward against a foggy, beige sky, with many unique flowers rising up to define the hooked rug‘s foreground with their elegant presence. Vivacious orange, soft yellow, sage green, rich purple, blushing cream and a variety of other colors all dance around each other to create a whimsical and picturesque setting, the many hues working together to create contrast and unity along the work.
