Antique Hooked American Rug 1927

Hooked Rug, America, Circa 1900 - This outstanding antique hooked rug is an American response to the elegant design of French Aubusson tapestry and Savonnerie pile rugs, both in its naturalistic floral design and its soft, cool coloration. The local flavor emerges in the drawing of the surrounding scroll cartouche and in the classic hooked rug striated ground emerging from behind it.
