A Beautiful Floral Design Antique Ivory Oversized American Hooked Rug, Country of Origin: United States, Circa 1920’s — Rug hooking first appeared in the New England states of the USA in the mid-1800’s. During that time, colonial women would use scraps of old clothing, bed linens, and curtains to create hand-hooked rugs for their homes. At the beginning of the 20th century, this art once again became popular and remained so through the 1930’s. It was considered a part of the Arts and Crafts movement and often made its way into Craftsman-style homes. These antique rugs accented the fine woods used on the floors of homes in this architectural style.

You can find many patterns of antique American hooked rugs from the 1920’s. This one mimics the European and French rugs that were popular in the earlier part of the century.
