On the Design:

The play of geometric patterns in diamond-like medallions looks to draw a subtle inspiration from fish scales in their shape. Therein, navy blue and gray tones underscore cream white, beige-brown and light blue hues, with a fabulous sense of movement and a bold, graphic look. Admirers of the craft will appreciate hooked rugs 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 good 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
