This Early 20th Century Antique Floral Folk Art Basket Weave Design Hooked Rug is a soulful example of Country. Hand-hooked, this rectangular wool rug features a disciplined basket weave design inspired by early quilt patterns. The composition showcases a rhythmic grid of interlocking bands that serve as a trellis for whimsical, hand-hooked floral blossoms. Crafted from wool with a tightly looped, nubby texture, the piece exhibits a magnificent marbled variegation and a velvety patina. The sophisticated palette of ivory, tan, and white is accented by muted tones, creating a shimmering, tactile depth. With a 0.5-inch pile height and a substantial handle, this durable antique rug bridges the gap between humble colonial craft and modern geometric art.
