About Hooked Rugs
American hooked rugs are hand-crafted textile pieces that gained popularity in the mid-20th century, often associated with a rustic, folk art aesthetic. These rugs are made by pulling loops of fabric, typically wool, through a sturdy base material such as burlap or linen. The designs often reflect geometric patterns, floral motifs, or depictions of rural life, drawing inspiration from traditional American crafts. They were valued not only for their practicality and durability but also for their unique, handcrafted appeal, making them a cherished element of mid-century home decor. less
