Antique Hooked American Rug 1646

Hooked Rug, America, Circa 1900 - While the composition of this antique hooked rug clearly reflects French Aubusson and Savonnerie medallion designs, its drawing and coloration have a remarkably quaint and homespun American quality. Here we are reminded that the gap between traditional Americana and Continental sophistication is not as wide as we might suppose.
