On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note 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. The central cartouche, rendered in ivory and soft taupe, is enhanced by graceful scrollwork in delicate pink accents. A series of concentric borders creates depth, with the outermost featuring a distinctive scalloped pattern in cream that softens the geometric framework. This piece is one of the most beautiful rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique geometric medallion design for this craft. The look is elegant and fine like few of its period—a collectible piece, yet comfortable and teeming with a regal elegance in its many unique beauties.

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.
