On the Design:

This exquisite American hooked rug showcases a refined floral medallion design characteristic of Victorian-era decorative arts. The central bouquet of roses in rich coral reds is masterfully arranged within concentric oval frames, creating elegant depth against the cream ground. The border treatment is particularly notable, featuring an intricate scrolling pattern in complementary salmon pink tones, framed by a deep brown outer edge. Subtle olive-green leaves provide natural accents throughout the composition. 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 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.
