Beautiful Small Size Antique Hooked Rug, Country of Origin: United States, Circa Date: 1920 —  Like many other American hooked rugs from this era, this work showcases an elegantly natural and strikingly understated design that allows the colors and forms to speak for themselves. Five simple stripes are arranged in a unique and lavish display of contrast against each other, with two distinct forms acting as the defining elements in the area rug. One form features a grainy texture that houses all types of bright, yet woody colors within, while the second form stands out as soft heartwood, its pale, earthy shape unifying the other elements in the rug.
