Antique Hooked American Rug 2544

Antique American Rugs -- Antique American Hooked Rug, late nineteenth century - Sometimes it is hard to believe that a thing so simple can be so lovely, but this absolutely charming little antique American hooked rug makes the point so well. Two swans floating on a pond come face to face within a frame of stripes in purple, aubergine, and yellow. The aquatic setting exists only in our imagination, however, for the swans appear above the waterline on an ivory ground that is barely distinguishable from their plumage.
