Duck Themed Antique American Hooked Rug 2630

Antique American Rugs — Duck Themed Antique American Hooked Rug, early twentieth century – Antique American hooked rugs often have pictorial designs, but they tend to be primitive; seldom do they achieve the painterly sophistication and bucolic splendor of this superb example. Amidst a spacious rustic setting reminiscent of Eakins or Hopper, a hunter and his dog take aim at their quarry. The weaver’s ability to render the lifelike detail of the water’s surface, the forest, and the distant mountain within the range of an essentially decorative palette is simply remarkable.
