Beautiful Hooked Rug, America, Early 20th Century – American rug hooking is a craft that dates back to the colonial era and continued through the Great Depression. The techniques remained the same, but the materials and designs transitioned according to style trends. This gorgeous piece incorporates a beautiful, natural green background with vibrant hues of pink and blue. It features a bold, floral design and uses symmetry to create rhythm and balance. This piece makes a gorgeous addition to your historic or modern home.
The art of rug hooking uses scraps of wool fabric that are punched through a ground cloth using the placement of colors to create the design. Earlier hooked rugs from Colonial times often used simple, primitive designs. As the craft progressed, the ability to print designs on the ground cloth allowed for more intricate pieces. The introduction of the Art Deco and Arts and Crafts movements once again saw a return to more primitive designs and simple shapes.
This piece is from the early part of the 20th century and has an Art Deco feel. The outlined shapes give it the appearance of stained glass, which is a technique you often see in Art Deco pieces. It also has the primitive feel and simplicity that you often find in pieces created during the Arts and Crafts period.
During the early 20th century, color palettes often featured combinations that reflected the intersection of the natural world and the manmade one. Now, designers are once again returning to a more natural aesthetic that features natural hues mixed with vibrant ones. The bold abstract floral design allows it to make a statement in the room.
This piece is a gorgeous collectible and an example of early 20th-century American rug hooking. It is small enough to be mounted and used as a piece of striking artwork for your walls. You could also use it as an accent rug or to create a charming vignette.
This rug appeals to a more traditional taste, but it also reflects modern style and color trends that are returning to bold colors against a neutral background. Whether you have a historic home or a modern loft, this rug will bring a sense of nature and charm to your room.
