Small Floral Geometric Pattern Antique Hooked American Rug 46526

Hooked Rug, Country of Origin: America, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – This charming antique American hooked rug has a delicate feminine countenance and a surprisingly stark composition that is on the verge of modernity. The elegantly appointed field showcases a stylish combination of evocative scarlet pimpernels with veined leaflets that are arranged around a series of softly colored harlequin lozenges.

Between the strong geometric figures and delicate floral motifs, this antique American hooked rug exemplifies the elegant folksy style and unassuming femininity of traditional American designs.
