On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this piece as one of the most beautiful rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique animal pictorial and geometric design for this craft. While rare in all rugs, hooked rugs like this one are especially desirable for being one of the styles where animal depictions are celebrated, though each piece remains one of a kind. They also have a delicious texture, almost like a boucle, that’s inherent to the technique.

Connoisseurs will appreciate this among some of the richest, most collectible works of folk art and among the earliest forms of American folk art in our field—an exemplar of folksy charm and art as much as an accent rug, from a distinguished weaving tradition of Americana with vast design applications today.

Condition:

This antique hooked rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—a rare and collectible piece of history for both designer and connoisseur alike. Buyers and decorators will note that many pieces in this collection are currently on a wooden frame, and can be sold as is for wall-hanging projects or removed for flooring projects upon request. less
